I have always talked to myself a lot unfortunately. I wasn’t really cognizant of it until my niece which is my coworker told me that when I’m back in the shop it sounds like I’m talking to ghosts lol.

I miss the days when that was how you could easily tell who was psychotic

But an inner monologue, yes that's very active.

I'm in the same boat. Was rattled when I learned people can pull an image up in their head. My inner voice is super active as well but one poster mentioned reading and that's where it kind of tails off. When I read I just kind of put the story together in my head, no visuals and I only "sound out" the printed words once I'm tired and know it's time to stop reading. Not really sure how to explain it but once I'm tired and my brain starts looking at every word my reading slows right down and my comprehension actually goes down as well. Otherwise I'm a very quick reader.
It did explain why I'm so ####ty at drawing, anyways.

My wife does not have an inner monologue. She has thoughts as abstract concepts but no narration, no words.
She always believed the thought narration in movies was a plot device, not actually describing how most people think. It wasn't until her early 40's when she learned she was special.

This was a big one for me when the topic of mind images was brought up. I feel like I can come up with images in my head, but if you were to ask me to draw something simple (a cow, for example), I can't hold an image in my head that's complete enough to get it onto paper.
I think the question of inner-anything has got to be way more complicated than we appreciate because we can't experience anybody else's mind. The levels of detail must be all over the map. Before somebody raised the drawing problem, I would've told you I absolutely can see images in my head... now not so much.

I have a friend who knows hockey trivia to an insane degree.
He claims to be able to see the pages of stats books in his mind to know that Gretzky had X assists in 1988.
He can also tell you what way Doug Houda, or Tock Tockett shot because he can picture them in his mind holding their sticks.
I'm kind of like that with geography. I can see in my minds ey everything from point A to point B generally.
Also, yeah inner monologue. For those that don't, how do you type/read without it?

Doesn’t everyone? It’s called thinking.
