INTUITIVE

*DEFINITION
AND ITS KEY
COMPONENTS

THINKING
REVIEW
MOTIVATION

Have you ever had a moment


where you felt as though
something wasn't right?
Perhaps stepping into a parking
lot late at night, or feeling
negative around someone
without knowing why?
INTUITIVE THINKING

is the ability to acquire


knowledge without proof, 
evidence, or conscious 
reasoning, or without
understanding how the
knowledge was acquired.
INTUITIVE THINKING
It is the unconscious knowledge,
unconscious cognition, inner
sensing, inner insight to
unconscious pattern-recognition
and the ability to understand
something instinctively, without
the need for conscious reasoning.
INTUITIVE THINKING

It is an instinct is our


innate inclination toward
a particular behavior (as
opposed to a learned
response).
INTUITIVE THINKING
 A gut feeling—or a hunch—is a
sensation that appears quickly in
consciousness (noticeable
enough to be acted on if one
chooses to) without us being fully
aware of the underlying reasons
for its occurrence.
INTUITIVE THINKING
 it gives us the ability to know
something directly without
analytic reasoning, bridging the
gap between the conscious and
non-conscious parts of our mind,
and also between instinct and
reason.
KEY COMPONENTS OF INTUITIVE
THINKING

1) Lack of rationalization.


If you look up “rational” in the 
dictionary, you’ll find it means
having reason, and if you then
look up “reason,” you’ll find that
it means thinking in an orderly
way.
KEY COMPONENTS OF INTUITIVE
THINKING

2. Non-sequential. 
Furthermore, many researchers many
intuition researchers also confirm that
intuition is not sequential. As described
by Hayashi (2001), economics Nobel
Laureate Herbert Simon says, ln the
time, we are reaching conclusions on the
basis of things that go on in our
perceptual system, 
KEY COMPONENTS OF INTUITIVE
THINKING

Includes insight.
In intuitive thought, at the end of
deliberating in the unconscious
thought process, there is an insight
from the unconscious to the
conscious
concept of directness and speed
inherent in shortcuts.
SAMPLE INTUITIVE THINKING
You: What should I wear today? 
Your Unconscious: Red.
You: Red what? 
Your Unconscious: I don't know, just something red.
You: Why? 
Your Unconscious: Feels good.
You: But I have an interview today; isn't red too
aggressive?
Your Unconscious: You're missing the point. 
You: What's the point?
Your Unconscious: You like red. It makes you feel happy. 
You: What has happiness got to do with this?
Your Unconscious: Everything. You: How?
Your Unconscious: You'll see; just trust me on this.
APPLICATION

let go of our expectations. We know
ourselves very well (better than
anyone else) and we have many
innate abilities, including intuition.

thoughts and trust your intuition.
