The power of intuitive intelligence

Until not long ago, Intuition used to be associated with women. “Feminine intuition” It built, by itself, an entire area in which to introduce those sudden sensations with which we usually make many decisions. What is also known as intuitive intelligence. Hunches that couldn’t be explained: “Something tells me that I shouldn’t trust that person. I think it is better to choose this option and not the other”.

Did this idea associated with female intuition perhaps have some scientific basis? Of course. But even more so, it’s not just exclusive to this genre, but to both. Of men and women.

Since the field of Emotional Intelligence has gradually become more importantthe great weight that emotions and sensations have in our daily lives has come to be understood.

People are not 100% rational creatures at all… we are pure emotions. Desires, desires, fears, concerns, sadness, happiness…

We are able to obtain information just by seeing a smile, a gesture. Few things give us as much knowledge as emotions.. It was the journalist Malcolm Gladwell who introduced us to the interesting term intuitive intelligence, which is well worth knowing.

1. The power of obtaining information through intuition

Intuition is not something magical. It is not witchcraft, nor paranormal science. To understand it, we are going to give you an example: A doctor consults in his cardiology area. One of his patients has altered breathing, swelling and a bruised color on the lips. You don’t need to do a blood test or any other test to “intuit” that something is wrong with that patient.

His years of experience give him the ability to react quickly when observing certain stimuli. Malcolm Gladwell calls these processes “Blink”, blinking, moments when people, thanks to our intuition, reach quick conclusions, through our previous experiences and the associated emotions.

This same author tells us that in general, people are “infoxicated.” That is to say, we have a large amount of useless information that comes to us from all sides. And it is thatSometimes, stress, anxiety or an incorrect way of concentrating prevents us from being able to “intuit” things.. See the reality of what we have beyond our nose.

So how do we get the most out of our intuitive intelligence? We explain it to you.

2. How to develop your intuition

To develop your intuitive intelligence you have to start introducing certain habits into your life that will help you prioritize your intuition. Let’s see how you can do it?

Pay attention to your emotions

There are many times when we dislike something and we don’t know why. Surely it has happened to you at some point, you are talking to a person and there is something you don’t like. Or even more so, you have a project to do but something inside you makes you feel uncomfortable.

When you have these sensations, find out what they are due to. Sensations are associated with our personality and information stored in our brain.

If you don’t like that person, it’s maybe because they remind you of someone. If that project does not convince you, you may not see yourself qualified to do it. Every sensation has a rational basis

Develop your instinct

We know, it sounds like a phrase from a motivational manual. But what does it mean to develop your instinct?Instinct is the ability to make appropriate decisions, to obtain the correct information and be a safe person. To do this, first of all, you must learn to discard important information from information that is not important.

Surely in your workspace you receive a large amount of rumors, gossip, and comments without any significance. All of this is not relevant. Put it away. You should look at the stimuli that really offer you objective data. Then, analyze them with the sensation they offer you.

When making decisions, if you are sure of yourself, and have clear stimuli, objective information and know what is best for you, your intuition will always be correct.

Our reality is made up of objective things and intangible things. Something intangible is, for example, a worried face. A half smile, an angry look.

Non-verbal communication is a great source of information that is worth understanding. As well as developing our capacity for empathy. All these stimuli develop our instinct because they make us learn about human behavior.

Learning and understanding emotions is key

Intuitive intelligence is observation, it is knowing how to react and knowing how to understand in a complex world full of chaotic information… And you, are you an intuitive person?
