Interesting, I never thought about this.

My thinking is very similar to yours - mostly words with occasional flashes of pictures and mini-movies (gifs?). I often have to consciously think "what would that look like?" or "what would he look like?" to get an image in my head, and even then it's not very sharp or well defined... just a flicker really.

It's kind of the same when I read fic - I enjoy the story without actually picturing the scene as a movie. When I actually try to make myself imagine the characters, I lose the flow of the story. So yes, I am definitely word-centric.
