Temat: Intuition

Are you the intuitive type?
Have you got any examples of own intuitive decisions from your past?
Do you develop your intuition to make it better? If not, what other means do you use for decision making?
Or is intuition BS?

How do you develop intuition?

Temat: Intuition

Concentrate, meditate, self-observe and evaluate?
Avoid distraction?

Not sure if it can be developed, but some people are more intuitive than others. Such concepts scare me...

My intuition says that intuition is BS. But my intuition is useless.

I'm no expert, as usual, it's a real life situation that puzzles me and I'm asking myself questions.

In general your gut feeling is usually right? So why not stick to it?
When is the moment you start wondering and reasoning and do something completely opposite to what you feel you should have done?Lidia K. edytował(a) ten post dnia 16.12.08 o godzinie 23:11

Following your instinct/intuition is usually a good thing, provided you're mentally stable...

I think it's got more to do with successfully weighing all the pros and cons of whatever decision we are making. You can have a "gut feeling" but it's just a matter of 50/50 it will either come true or not. This is why "intuition" is so popular, your instincts will either server you right or fail you.

Hmm, that's a good question.

I actually follow my instincts a lot. They sometimes prevail over rational thinking, some sort of pros/cons list (Ross & Rachel hehe).

While trusting your intuition in every day life can be understandable, using the same approach at work (I mean industry, where everything is standardized, regulated, controlled.. or should be) may seem risky.

People sometimes ask me: how'd you know it would work? I didn't. I felt it would, strongly, but I didn't.

I'd say that intuition is only applicable to the "first time events". Once you start evaluating, assessing, observing, using the lessons learned and whatnot, the decision making process starts shifting ever so slowly towards analysis and using previous experience.

I don't think one can develop intuition.

I'd like to direct you to a book called "Blink".

The cut and thrust of the book is the premise that over-pondered decisions are often shite whereas quick ones (intuition, if you like) are often better.

Various examples are given and, bugger me, the premise indeed turns out to be true WITH ONE MAJOR CAVEAT: to be accurate with intuition, you need to have had previous experience. For example, to weight up if a date is going to turn into a long-lasting relationship, you need to have had experience of meeting people and having relationships.

Makes sense, doesn't it? The more experience, the more you are able to tell within 5 seconds: not my type.

How do you develop intuition?

Develop experiences! And also switch off your conscious self and stretch out with your feelings!

Then it's not intuition. It's analyzing. Statistics, if you will.
switch off your conscious self and stretch out with your feelings!
That I agree with 104,73%!

If I were to base my intuitive dating decisions on previous experience with relationships, I'd never get past the first date.

Nope. Statystical analysis requires conscious processing.

Intuition involves merely the unconscious mind. The elephant rather than the rider, if you follow the drift of my flow...

Use the force, Jarek!Steve Jones edytował(a) ten post dnia 17.12.08 o godzinie 11:59

Maybe because you don't trust it?

Yes, that's why I separate the two: intuition and experience-based un/sub-conscious analysis.

I guess it's down to definitions, then, but not the wiki or other -pedia ones.

Probably it's like: "Oh, this is the guy".

Sorry.
I've met a lot of women telling the same. Women suck sometimes when it comes to their choices, or they give the impression that they suck.
Some women really suck, however, it is a different subject that I don't want to talk about, right here.ilter K. edytował(a) ten post dnia 17.12.08 o godzinie 15:04
