I either think in pictures with visualizations, or just 'think' without text of any kind.

Memorizing in pictures is best for memory both long and short term but takes a little effort. Once I learned the trick it made studying most subjects requiring memorization much easier and faster.

In general for a basic task I'll think and it sort of comes out of whatever makes us intelligent.

While we get slowly closer the brain is still too much of a magical black box to really understand how this works or works differently for other people. A few moments ago I talked to someone about the Ras oncogene but I have not studied it for years and years, and yet when the right stimulus appeared it magically came to the front with the information I could recall (and not all that I once knew). It wasn't in text, it wasn't a picture or a color, it just was there.

Now if I want to think about how it works, and not just recall how it works, then it gets visualized.
