I think humans will definitely be studied upon by mind-reading aliens. It’s just that we think in so many different ways! There are people who think logically, and those who are more emotional. People who narrate their everyday life, while others think in pictures and scenarios.
I’ve heard of people thinking in colors, people thinking in quotes and memes. Personally, my everyday life is thought in song.
Wouldn’t it be interesting? All the different ways of thinking?
How our mind works would probably become two studies, one about morals and all the philosophical stuff and the other would be why we think in such different ways.
Now have a fun little scenario!

Mind reading alien - *Is found crying on the floor*
Alien 2 - “What is wrong MRA?”
MRA - *mumbles* “I thought we got a normal one. I thought we got a normal one. I thought we got a normal one.”
Alien 2 - “What did you think we got normal?”
MRA - *Sobs harder* “A normal human!”
Alien 2 - “Well, she is quite normal for her species.”
MRA - “She has been singing the same song about killing a creature of her own species for over 3 human hours!”
Alien 2 - “But I do not hear anything.”
MRA - “She’s been doing it in her head!”

Glad you asked! (couldn’t find your blog post so I opted to screenshot your reblog)
I would say said alien would just be frozen. Just stands there, dazed. Kinda like when you zone out but worse in a good way. You can bring the alien back by touch but most humans have to go through a screening to see what type of thinker they are so the mind-reading aliens won’t spend a bunch of time being frozen.
Speaking of the screening, I like to think that some humans will purposely change their tag to see the alien zone out or to bluff. Like, if pirates came just saying ‘visual thinker’ & 'horror movies’ is probably enough to deter any alien from entering your mind.
SPEAKING OF MOVIES!
I, 1000% believe that people will capitalise off visual thinkers making stories in their heads. Like they visualise their entire story in their head and people just watch. This not only helps with the story building for the person visualising but is probably entertaining for the aliens as there are a lot of different concepts and ideas that they might not have thought of.
The best thing would be the night time visualisations, aka, DREAMS~
Is it going to be scary? Is it going to mundane everyday work? (Which is probably not mundane for aliens tbh) Is it going to be a whole ass story with a confusing plot and a cliffhanger at the end that drives you mad because you’ll never know what happens after the story because it’s just a dream? WHO KNOWS! It’s a frigging lottery!
