Related: NLP models this as VAKOG (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, olfactory, gustatory). The first three are said to be the most common with regard to mental processing. There is an additional concept of an individual's 'preferred representational system' also.
Lots of folk say that NLP is pseudoscience, and, perhaps arguably, this is probably true to some degree. But some of it is certainly useful as a model, sometimes. Some amount of the various aspects of NLP does seem to accord with psychological research though.
Not that I'm here to argue any of that - just figured someone might find NLP's model of this interesting.
Personally, my 'dominant mode' (preferred representational system) is auditory - I have an inner dialogue, pretty much all of the time (sometimes music) - and I am quite poor at visualising things.
Interesting topic! (in general - not specifically NLP)
