Intuition (or Brain Radar): Look, okay, you've definitely done a typo. Check it through before you hit send.

Logic: Don't be stupid intuition. I was slow and careful. My figures add up.

Intuition: Seriously. You know I've been right about these kinds of things before.



Logic: You're not really intuition, you're just fear, you're being paranoid.

Intuition: And you're being cocky and lazy, would you just listen to me?

Logic: No. Don't be stupid. Make sense. Brain over-ride. Click "send."

Intuition: *Sighs*

Logic: *Reviews sent message. Sees a glaringly obvious incorrect figure.*

Logic: How did you know that??

Intuition: *Rolls eyes, displays momentary hurt, smiles*

Logic: Right, okay. You were right, I was wrong, are you, what's that thing called, happy?

This conversation was practically just had inside my brain. Slowly I'm learning to trust my intuition more. This time I did not. Damn damn damn, that one typo. I just know when something isn't right.

Your "intuition" is based on reason. Reason is rooted in logic. Your example is self-defeating.

Hence the start: "Intuition (or Brain Radar):"

How do I look up these tests?

With the Google. All the kids are using it these days.

I don't understand how you can compare intuition to logic/thinking--at least in a cognitive function sense. Intuition is a perceiving function; thinking is a judging function. Intuition is useless without thinking (or god forbid feeling) to interpret it. Thinking is useless without intuition or sensing to fuel it.

Well, what I meant is specifically, what titles and names do these tests go by so that I may more easily find them.

I like to search using Startpage, myself.

Sometimes intuition isn't an answer/end in and of itself. Sometimes it is a distant and echoing, "Look over here!" off in the distance when logic says first do this step, and conduct this test, and then try this formula. Intuition sort of says, "Screw those tests and steps. Just try this one for Pete's sake. Just TRY it." It can be very insistent. Sometimes it can also be a wild goose chase. When it is right, it is fantastic. Logic can help with the final verification and the retracing the steps backward for the sake of communicating and duplicating. They do need to work very closely.

Ooohh, look what we have here, dragon. An ISTJ. *Rubs hands together.*

Um, is that supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing?

I am a bit confused why an ISTJ would be commenting on this thread, which was intended to ask INTPs about their experiences. I can't quite explain the dragon comment to you, except that it means something different to either "good" or "bad."

An ENTP I'm slightly less confused about.

I do base a lot of my decisions on intuition.

During the past few years I've come to trust my intuition. Whenever I've tried to go against it, for some 'logical' reason or another, I've always been wrong. Every. single. time.

There have been a few times that I've known something I shouldn't. For example, a couple of years ago, out of the blue I was worried about my step-mom during a snowstorm. Usually, I'd have ignored the feeling - hell we get a good amount of snow here. This time, I was really compelled to called her. I did, and she had just skidded her car down the side of the road and into a tree. She was ok (the snow had slowed the car and it hit on the passenger side), but the car was totaled.

I was actually pretty freaked out about that whole scenario.

Yes, yes, I do enjoy eclairs. I find them quite delectable.

I shall relate to le chair sentences.
