I see no reason why you can't simply change from being a visual thinker to a verbal one or whatever.

At least to some extent, I would agree with this. But the first step in deciding to change is knowing that the change is possible and an alternative exists, which requires people to first know how they differ from others.

Agreed. There's nothing wrong with this thread, and without further information I can't prove that anybody who answered is committing any of the errors I outlined.

All in all, I probably should have considered starting a new thread on this topic instead of simply dropping my rant in here.
