Intuition and Decision Making

Decision making based on intuition is characterized by the use of hunches, inner feelings, or the”gut feeling” of the person reaching the decision. Suggestions, influences, preferences, and the psychological makeup ofthe deciding individual play an important part; the subjective element is vital. It is believed by many that the intuitive decider has more “precognitive” ability and is better able to anticipate the future in instances where reliable data are lacking.
