Are you Intelligent or Dumb? If the former, Please Show Me or Make meSense it.

Intuition, according to a definition offered by ancients, suchas Faribi, and Avicina, or Ibn Sina, and modern scholars too, such as Gladwell,  is awareness or of something without being aware how one came to be aware of it, or thinking without thinking.

Modern personality type indicators or sorters say intuition is perceptual mechanism, a mechanism used to gather information, not a mechanism to judge.

Feeling and thinking are instrument of judjment, not of perception.

Intuition is opposed to senses, another more familiar data gathering tool.

Twenty five percept of the population is believed to intuit as opposed to sense. This is a percentage cited by Keirsey in his book,Please Understand me II, and others cite as much as 35% of the population. Its origin is unknown to me at this time.

Intuition is abstract phenomena as such, it is like intellect.

So, if you ask people are you intelligent? they will say yes or out of humility no, but they may not accept if you tell them you are dumb or less intelligent.

Needless to say, they will take that as an insult. But if you tell them show me your intelligence, or allow me to sense it, they will not succeed in making you sense intellect or intelligence.

Avicenna’s face, in above picture, for instance, appears to be familiar, yet it is hard to characterize what it is. Intuition is like that to some, we are familiar with it, but we are unable to sense it, that is say what it is in concrete terms.

If so, intuition is intellect or at least it appears to belong to such class as of intellect. It is sort of things we easily assent to their existence, but are unable to sense it, but things that suggest their existence are abound.

Ask not,then, its sensory character, but rather its signs, sort of things that suggest its existence.

Intuition or thinking without thinking is essentially the first two seconds or even much less of any interactions, the data needed for decisionmaking is available, more or less data may be needed to render verdict, but you have a starting point to progress from.

A case in point that comes to mind is knowing that I ought to not visit this site or that site in the first few seconds. If I am able to forego the first sites, then It is easy for me to forego many others and thus remain productive. If I don't, then it is harder to forego others, and by implication I become less productive. This example shows a good or bad of use intuition.

Intuition being perceptual phenomena it just offers more information regarding what to do while on the Internet. You need judging instrument to make good use of your time relative to your needs and aspirations.

Generally speaking rewards and punishments work for me. I will do this task in 20 minutes, or I will lose, say, $5 dollars. If I lose the money, I give it to a homeless person.

Absence of these counter perceptual mechanisms, one performs unnecessary work relative to a relevant goals.

People who use their intuition or their senses more so than their thinking or feeling, are said to be perceivers, according to Myers and Briggs typology of personalities, people who are inclined to be probe options rather than render a verdict. Tasks are started but never finished, hence success remains elusive. To achieve any worthwhile project, one ought to use his or he judging or scheduling inclination to schedule essential tasks and limit the time needed to get them done, as the author of 4-Hour Workweek recommends.

A perceiver, therefore, ought to not sit for work without having essential tasks to be completed and their allotted time.
