Intuition allows you to instantly find a solution without having sufficient information for logical analysis. The brain suggests information that it cannot know, but still knows 
Plato believed that humans have two types of thinking: logical and intuitive. The left hemisphere controls logic, while the right hemisphere controls creative thinking and intuition.
The right hemisphere instantly processes incoming information from the senses. It is there that emotions are formed and connections between objects and events are discovered. Intuitive thinking is a feeling, not a knowledge, because a person cannot explain logically why he made the decision he did.
Only 3% of people have strong intuition, and most often these are creative people.
Check your level of intuition: can you trust your own instinct or is it better for you to follow logic and the voice of reason?
We prepared 6 images where we painted over objects or took photographs in black and white. The correct answers will be immediately below the tasks. For each correct answer, award yourself 1 point, and then read the results.

What is intuition? It turns out that they understand it differently. Some believe that this is a sixth sense, an almost paranormal sense that defies the laws of logic. Others are sure that this is the result of experience gained, taken from personal practice, literature, cinema, and social stereotypes. Others recognize it as instinct or just insight. An intuition test will help you understand how developed this spontaneous, unpredictable instinct is and what to do with it.

Example: which of them became a famous actor?
Here is an example from the test, there are 2 photos of people taken many years ago, and you need to FEEL which of them eventually became a world famous actor.
You can look at their faces and focus on some stereotypes that will pop up in your head. And this is a sure path to failure, to the wrong answer. In this way you will definitely be deceived.
In order to get a truthful answer, you need to focus on your feelings and sensations. 1 of these people is a world famous actor. That is, there is now an energy of fame and popularity around him. He has great charisma and influence in the future.
And if we tune our instinct to this fame, some light and glory around a person. Then around one of them we can feel a certain density, the energy of fame. But around another person, if you tune in to him through a photo now, there won’t be such energy.
And by tuning into these sensations and making decisions based on such sensations, you can get closer to the correct answer. And such an answer will not be based on inventing or guessing.
Algorithm for turning on your intuition:
1. Clear your consciousness of all thoughts, get the state of an empty head2. Turn on your senses, sharpen your senses. Start to receive sensations from the outside world, feel objects around. Try to feel the energies of the world, people, and the energy of objects around you.3. Tune in to the objects in the photographs and try to feel which answer is correct. For each question, it is important to first understand exactly what we need to tune in to, what sensations we are trying to capture. In the case of an actor, this will be a certain energy of fame.
What is Intuition and how does it work?
Intuition is a certain feeling of the right answer that arises within us.
We can say that Intuition is a property of our Psyche (energy) that allows us to feel the world. To feel out the people with whom we communicate, to get some sensations from the person, his intentions, his mood. This is a certain Flair.
And such a sense can be compared to a certain “echo-locator” inside us. You can imagine that our Psyche has a kind of energy “Probe” or “Tentacle”. We seem to immerse him in a person, in a situation. This is the outside.
You just get a feeling inside yourself. We listen to ourselves, to the sensations that arise as a result of such “feeling”. Some people pay attention to this, some people just don't pay attention. There are people who have this ability active. That is, we can say that they have this “tentacle” activated. Such people can train themselves to listen to the sensations that arise within themselves.
But they can also ignore this feeling and then say to themselves, well, I knew that I should have done something differently. That's what I felt.
Online test
To learn to understand yourself, as well as your intuition, you should make some efforts, understand how it works, how to “decipher” its signals, and most importantly, listen to them in time. It happens that under the influence of stress, in a hurry or under pressure, a person does the opposite - but in the end he realizes that he intuitively wanted to do something differently. Sometimes we refuse to listen to ourselves, follow the intended plan - and as a result we find ourselves in unpleasant situations. If you learn to listen to your instincts, you can avoid many mistakes.
The test will tell you how to understand how developed your intuition is and whether it is worth training. Answer the questions provided by choosing one of three options:
- Often – 3 points;
- Sometimes – 2 points;
- Never – 1 point;

What is intuition
The phenomenon of automatic decision making has not yet been fully studied by science.
In psychology, the term intuition means making a spontaneous, correct decision that is not justified by logical conclusions.
It is believed that intuition is closely related to such aspects as:
- Inspiration and emotional uplift;
- Template thinking;
- Existing knowledge and experience gained throughout life.
Also, well-developed intuition is equated with extrasensory abilities, in which a person predicts upcoming events or understands people very well without even communicating with them.
A little about two types of thinking and the REI test
Of course, like the other opposites given above, the opposition between a rational or an intuitive type of thinking is quite arbitrary
.
Depending on the situation, a person can use both types: listen to intuition or weigh the pros and cons using pure logic. However, for many, one of these two styles is dominant: if, all other things being equal, reason says one thing and intuition says another, what will this or that person choose?
The differences between the two types of thinking have also attracted psychologists. So, Epstein’s Rational-Intuitive Questionnaire
(or Epstein) – Rational-Experiential Inventory. It is also REI or REI-40 (based on the number of questions). The test allows you to determine which of the two types is in the lead, and also shows how highly a person rates his intuitive and analytical abilities. Sometimes REI is used by HR specialists when selecting candidates. This test is also interesting from the point of view of self-diagnosis.
At the same time, Seymour Epstein himself did not say that a person uses only one of two systems of perception - analytical-rational and intuitive. On the contrary, according to his theory, these systems work in parallel and constantly interact
, allowing us to make decisions and find answers to emerging questions most quickly and efficiently.
Application in everyday life
A person with well-developed intuition receives the following benefits:
- Spends less time analyzing information and finding the right solution. It comes as an insight, and often has no logical proof.
- Draws preliminary conclusions, the correctness of which is only confirmed over time.
- He understands people well: he can predict their behavior in a given situation, easily reads their emotional state, and quickly recognizes lies.
- Predicts future events.
Psychologists believe that this feeling can and should be developed. But first of all, it is worth determining the initial potential. By answering a few simple questions, you will understand how developed your intuition is at the moment, and whether you can already rely on your sixth sense.
