intuition

Examples of intuition in the following topics:

• Problem-Solving

  • The way we solve problems can be influenced by algorithms, heuristics, intuition, insight, confirmation bias, and functional fixedness.
  • These spontaneous decisions are often associated with functional fixedness, confirmation bias, insight and intuition phenomenology, heuristics, and algorithms.
  • Intuition phenomenology differs from insight phenomenology in that intuition, or the gut feeling one gets, is largely influenced by past knowledge and experience, whereas insight arises suddenly for a given context or problem which is not based on previous knowledge or experience.
  • Some of these mental processes include functional fixedness, confirmation bias, insight and intuition phenomenology, heuristics, and algorithms.
  • Examine how algorithms, heuristics, intuition, insight, confirmation bias, and functional fixedness can influence judgment and decision making.

• Personality Testing in the Workplace

  • This 16-type indicator test uses two opposing behavioral divisions along four scales which, when combined, yield a "personality type;" the four scales include extroversion-introversion, sensing-intuition, thinking-feeling, and judging-perceiving.
  • For instance, the proportion of engineers who are INTJ (scoring high on introversion, intuition, thinking, and judging) is higher among this profession than the 1% found in the general population.

• History of Cognition

  • It is intuitive, meaning that nobody has to learn or be taught how to think.

• Evaluating the Humanistic Perspective on Personality

  • The major theory of humanistic personality psychology, namely that people are innately good and intuitively seek positive goals, does not explain the presence of deviance or evil in the world within normal, functioning personalities.

• Overview of Personality Assessment

  • This measures whether someone understands and interprets new information using their five senses (sensing) or intuition.
  • This measures whether a person relates to the outside world primarily using their judging function (which is either thinking or feeling) or their perceiving function (which is either sensing or intuition).

• Reasoning and Inference

  • Like habit or intuition, reason is one of the ways that an idea progresses to a related idea, helping people understand concepts like cause and effect, or truth and falsehood.

• Describing Consciousness

  • Despite the difficulty in coming to a definition, many philosophers believe that there is a broadly shared underlying intuition about what consciousness is.

• Prejudice

  • Heuristics are along the same lines as rules of thumb, stereotypes, educated guesses, intuitive judgements, and profiling.

• Human Language Development

  • Part of this hypothesis is that if a child is not exposed to a language in the early years of life, he or she will never have full intuitive command of a first language.

• Reasoning

  • Like habit or intuition, it is one of the ways by which thinking comes from one idea to a related idea.
