Are you more likely to...
Speak without Thinking
Think without Speaking
After you Choose which you are most likely to do...tell us why. I guess it can be why you think you do what you do....or at least why you think that is what you do. Or something like that. You know, Defend, in a sense, your choice!
Thanks for being here. And thanks for playing Choose and Defend Wednesday, a high point in my week :)

Think without Speaking, definitely! My mind doesn't stop, even when it's time to go to sleep. Nobody knows what's clanking around in my brain.
Although my mind runs constantly and I don't always say so, I'm definitely going with speaking without thinking. My older son calls me the Hagrid of moms because I frequently tell him things and then immediately say, "Ooh, maybe I shouldn't have told you that..."
I'm sorry to say I'm much more inclined to think without speaking. I guess there is a part of me that thinks it's not polite to say what I think all the time. It's also that I can't exactly articulate what I'm thinking while I'm still having the thought. I know some people who talk drivel because they don't have the limiter in their brain that I seem to have. It impedes me a lot of the time but sometimes it's helpful not to say what I think.
I'm a guy, I speak without thinking. Or so I am told.
This is hard for me. If I am among friends, its certainly a speak without thinking situation.
However, if I feel threatened in any way, I tend to say little and then think of all kinds of things that I should have said at the time.
Can I be wishy-washy about it?
It really depends on the day. I used to speak without thinking a lot more than I do now. Now I tend to think without speaking. I prefer to write without thinking, then go back and think before editing. Now that is not really a choice, is it?
I'm a think without speaking, unfortunately in a compulsive way.
The good side, though, is that usually by the time I speak (or write, usually) I have my thoughts fairly well organized. The end result is that I occasionally look smart or clever even though I'm USDA Grade C average dullard.

The latter. As I found out... Why? I want to make sure what I say is what I mean. OK, so maybe 90% of the time.
