INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS INTUITION?

First things first, let’s understand what intuition is. Intuition cannot be called logical.
It’s not something you can explain. It is a feeling that feels natural and instinctive. While
your intuition may feel just right, it’s not always accurate or logical.

Intuition can be defined as the ability to gain insight without using logical reasoning.
This lack of logical reasoning is what makes the belief in intuition deep. Intuition, for
the lack of a better word, is based on our previous experiences and the learning we got
from the past results.

Intuition helps us respond quickly while giving us confidence in our decision-making.


This “automatic thinking” is based on our past experiences. For example, when you visit
a restaurant and before you get the check, you instinctively know the cost – all of this
is based on your previous experience with the restaurant.

Intuition can help with survival as well. It gives quick responses that can address an
immediate action in a dangerous situation. While intuition and intuitive thinking have
their benefits, they can have some drawbacks as well.

Intuitive thinking can cause partiality in our decision-making process, especially when
our decisions need to be rationally thought out.

Intuitive thinking is the kind of thinking that refers to our ability to instinctively know
things without relying on logical reasoning. It’s more of a feeling that something is right
or wrong without relying on proof.

TYPES OF INTUITIVE THINKING

EMOTIONAL INTUITIVE THINKING is about the ability to immediately understand


others’ personality traits and emotional states. If you have this type of intuitive thinking,
then you can easily and quickly see who people are, and how they are feeling, without
them needing to say anything.

MENTAL INTUITIVE THINKING is when you find a quick solution to a problem without
researching or analyzing it. This intuitive thinking is about your cognitive ability and is
very common in people who have careers where quick thinking or decision is
acknowledged.

PSYCHIC INTUITIVE THINKING is the ability to choose the best path to overcome a
personal difficulty, without putting much mental effort into it. It also means being able
to pick up on social and work-related dynamics.

SPIRITUAL INTUITIVE THINKING has to do with states of “enlightenment” or


“revelations.” They are more of an experience than a fact.

CHARACTERISTICS OF INTUITIVE THINKER


1. More spontaneous, instinctive, and unplanned process of solving problem
2. Listening to inner voice
3. Taking time to be alone and reflect
4. Observing everything
5. Connecting deeply with others
6. Listening to their bodies
7. Connecting deeply with others

You can improve your intuitive thinking and allow yourself to rely on your intuition. All
you need to do is jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. Jot it down before
your rational mind kicks in. The first thing you’ll write will be your automatic thought;
your intuitive thought.

Later, you can look at your notes and see if your intuition was right or wrong. Compare
it with the result you got. This will help you make sense of your thinking and understand
the situation well too.
