ABSTRACT
We are most often pleasantly surprised to observe our intuition leading us to a correct solution when confronted with a situation needing an instantaneous answer for a complex problem. There have been instances that proved that intuition is sometimes more powerful than intellect. Albert Einstein rightly said “The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it Intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.” Intuition is an intriguing topic and it does baffle us how the right answer pops up without analysis, logic, or reasoning through an inner voice coming from the inner self or soul. This paper takes up this topic and we shall try to unravel different facets connected to this word, starting with its definition and meaning as posited by thinkers and philosophers, we shall explore what brain activities happen while we are intuiting, and we shall also peep into the history of intuition and we shall explore the importance of intuition in humans, we shall also see how intuition proved vital in many fields, we shall look at advantages and disadvantages of intuition, we shall also be examining whether intuition is always correct and, if not, is there a way to find pure intuition. We shall also learn how to develop ourselves to reach true intuition and finally can we measure intuition as we could measure intelligence via IQ?
