Poll: Do you think in complete sentences?

<p>I need to do a stats project for math, and this seems like an interesting topic.</p>

<p>Choices:</p>

<p>A - Always
B - Usually
C - Rarely
D - Never</p>

<p>Also, do you refer to yourself in first, second, or third person when thinking?</p>

<p>A - 1st (I)
B - 2nd (him, her, you)
C - 3rd ([name])</p>

<p>Haha, I've never thought about it but...</p>

<p>B
A</p>

<p>haha.</p>

<p>B.
B. (you)</p>

<p>C
A</p>

<p>But I rarely say "I am ..." I usually say "This is so..."</p>

<p>B
A
Interesting...</p>

<p>D
and I don't really ever refer to myself in my thoughts. It's more like "homework" "sleep". I mean I think I think in concepts and not in words? Does that make sense?</p>

<p>A
A</p>

<p>Though I'm often thinking in songs.</p>

<p>B
A and C</p>

<p>I think in a mix of English and Spanish, so it actually depends a little bit on which language I'm thinking in. In English, I'll scold myself in the 3rd person, but I rarely if ever refer to myself in the 3rd person when I'm thinking in Spanish. </p>

<p>Interesting idea for a project, though.</p>

<p>A (I actually sometimes think too much and explain things to myself, even when I was the one who came up with it (like why I'm going to go somewhere)... I actually have to tell myself to stop.)
A</p>

<p>Of course, by presenting the options as one-word answers, we're kind of limited by these sentence fragments (incomplete sentences). Like "Always. I always think in complete sentences." "Always" is an incomplete sentence. But whatever, I tend to overanalyze :-)</p>

<p>So my answers are
1. B.
2. A.</p>

<p>B</p>

<p>C sometimes A</p>

<p>B
A. although once in awhile i start thinking in 3rd person.</p>

<p>B
A, though occasionaly the other two.</p>

<p>C. I usually think in kinda fragmented thoughts</p>

<p>A. i always think of myself in the 1st person. In fact, I always dream in the 1st person; i never see myself or another character play out my dreams.</p>

<p>Bump. Need 25 responses. (They don't all have to come from CC, technically...)</p>

<p>I am also a D. I really only think in concepts, never saying words in my head.</p>

<p>Anyway, I think you need to add a fourth option to the first/second/third person question. There needs to be a first person plural option.</p>

<p>"We need to go and do our homework now..."
"Yes, but we hate it so much..."
"Ooo! Our phone rang!"</p>

<p>I'm sure there's someone out there! :)</p>

<p>B</p>

<p>Both B and C</p>

<p>Definitely an interesting topic. I've never even thought about this before.</p>

<p>Anyone here watch Scrubs? Thats kinda the way I think. Its kinda strange how I constantly narrate my own life as it unfolds and how I reflect my past memories.</p>

<p>Anyway,</p>

<p>A
A</p>

<p>C
B</p>

<p>I think way faster than complete sentences, and I usually give myself commands, which would be second person.</p>

<p>B
A I have never thought of myself in the second persion, even in commands.</p>
