[QUOTE="Ophiolite, post: 74936425, member: 234799"] My own view of intuition was arrived at independently of any formal research in the matter, is entirely based upon personal observation and consequently may be casually disregarded as anecdotal. Intuition is derived from one of two sources: [LIST] [*]Instinct - we are predisposed to react in certain ways (and, thus, to suspect certain things) under certain circumstances. This is illustrated by the classic scene in the Western, war movie, or horror film, where with nightfall the protagonist says to the group "I don't like it. It's quite. Too quite." [*]Experience - our subconscious processes data and solves problems, reporting them upstream to conscious, which perceives them as an intuition. [/LIST] In regard to the latter, in business I routinely deferred decisions till the following day, when such decisions could be safely deferred. This allowed me to "sleep on it". I would make sure I had studied all the relevant facts, but would then put them "out of my mind". In the morning, typically while showering, I would recall there was a problem to solve/decision to make. Pause. Then the answer was there. The solution/decision quite clear. No conscious thought involved. I commend this approach to all. [/QUOTE]
