Importance Of Intuition

Much of what encompasses human intelligence is not a deliberate concoction of thoughts, but a series of underlying processes. These latent, unconscious thoughts and feelings are collectively termed intuition. These processes elude fundamental logic, often transcending one’s rational understanding. Intuition emerges in a multitude of contexts, from choosing the ideal mate, to averting potential danger. However, is there scientific proof to confirm the existence of intuition? Is it possible to analyze the basis of intuitive gut feelings or is this largely an irrational and undefinable concept? Empirical proof confirms the existence of unconscious thoughts, working in the absence of conscious control. These observations legitimize the notion that

A study, conducted by Nyatanga & de Vocht examined the how cognition and physiology interacted with intuition (492). They partook in this study to convey the important role of intuition in decision making functions. Many clinical debates have surfaced in recent years, regarding the logical applications of intuition. As they acknowledge, it is challenging for leaders to make some decision, and often, this process is fueled by the working of intuition itself (Nyatanga & de Vocht 492). Of course, it is difficult to capture the process underlying their intuitive decisions overall. Hence, to investigate this concept, these authors conducted scientific experiments to verify the role of intuition in decisions. They partook in these experiences to demonstrate how intuition contributes to cognition and physiology (Nyatanga & de Vocht 492). The results of this study suggest the unconscious thoughts, inherent in intuition, contribute to high level decision making. Their conclusions further suggest that intuition is real and palpable phenomenon. As they conclude, intuition can be traced directly to both cognition and physiological constructs as well (Nyatanga & de Vocht 492). Thus, it is linked to both mental experience and the physical body as well. Therefore, not only is intuition a verifiable concept, but it guides both intangible and tangible human functions. This provides further evidence to support the conclusion that gut feelings are real after
