It's hard to perceive what's really happening in peoples minds from the outside. One of my old bosses once told me he wished he could "think" as "deeply" as I could "quickly", and I always thought that was pretty funny.. For me a lot of my deep "thinking" comes in real time, I'm ok at deep thinking on my own, but I'm way better in real time, especially around questions. My mind is just good at serving me up things I know quite quickly, I forsure come across as a "quick deep thinker" because the questions are just doing the work of producing a cacophony of memories I need to prase, if that makes sense, to me it's not really thinking, it's just really good episodic recall and listening to that recall? When I think on my own, I'm pretty slow... without much input, I'm super slow. I also think autism/dyslexia impact how I process and retrieve information (both positively and negatively).
