It's not intelligence itself, but when a mind hits a conceptual wall, it often tries to turn itself off and "coast" to the solution on the wheels of verbalization, visualization, rote memory, etc without the intelligence "engine" on. When the engine is on, you organically blend intuitive thought to orient yourself in the conceptual landscape and verbalize to concretize or more formally generalize the objects of abstraction intuited. I also use visualization both to model spatial objects and especially to keep track of relations between concepts when I'm not directly using them, so as I go along, I'll be building a visual diagram.Mid-tier NPC posting trying to excuse their handicap through over-written analysis. You should be able to use internal dialog and images and intuition all at once; the same way a band can use bass, drums, guitar, lyrics to construct 3 seconds of communication.
It's not separate... it's simpatico.
