Not everyone has an “inner voice”. Having one isn’t anything particularly notable either. Humans seem to conceptualize there thoughts in a variety of ways and none of them signify your intelligence imo. For me though it is a very literal inner voice. I conceptualize my thoughts using internal words or pictures. I will even speak to myself directly through a sort of dialogue. I think it comes from reading a rediculous amount of books as a kid.
