Gut Emotions Or Intuition?

Decisions are important and hard to make. People maybe decide quickly without thinking about the consequences but on the other half, they will think about it back and forth then they will reply. Christopher makes his point that people rely on their intuition so much, but I’m kindly disagree with him because it usually based on the ages. As people get older, they become more aware of they’re doing. Intuition usually evolves in easy decision, without any reasons they just decide as quickly as possible to get out of that problem. I can’t say which one people rely on more because they are different and they solve the problem with their way. Did I used mostly logic or intuition to make the decision? My answer is I used mostly logic to decide something. I feel like to have the comfortable feeling, I should think back and forth, then use reasons so I don’t have to hold any consequences later. The way I solve the problem should comfortable others too because I don’t want anyone get in trouble. One time, I had to decide the money I have left, should I buy my favorite shoes or birthday gift for my friend then I decided to buy birthday gift because shoes I can buy at anytime but my friend’s birthday happens only once a year; so I want to put my selfish aside and make everyone is happy. Your own selfish will make you move to the intuition side,

We laugh about the person who says, ‘I know I’m right; don’t confuse me with arguments’. And yet there are times when we find ourselves wanting to say that too. For there are situations in which we feel sure that we know something, even though if asked to give a good argument to back up our claim we are at a loss to know quite how to do so. ‘I know you’re the person I spoke to on the bus yesterday.’ ‘I know I have two hands.’ ‘I know it is wrong to let that child starve.’ ‘I know that six minus four leaves two.’ Our experience of being confident that we are right in cases like those is often called intuition. Intuitive knowing seems to be a direct, convincing way of knowing, which needs no further argument. And it is a perfectly ordinary,

I have a personal anecdote that highlights this idea of intuition vs. logic. As a person who

It is unbelievable just how powerful the human mind is. Our behaviors as a result of our mental state can be the deciding factor in how we make our final judgments. It is interesting that as human beings, when we are confronted with situations that demand us to make choices that include the well being of others, we often do what’s best for the greater good. Sometimes these situations are critical, and decisions need to be made in split seconds. It is in these moments where our abilities to make the best choices are truly tested. Most times we go with our gut instincts, and react according to our values and morals.

People make decisions every day. What clothes to wear? What movie to watch? What to cook for dinner? Most of us want to think that we are capable of making logical decisions. Goldstein (2011) suggest deductive and inductive reasoning are part of the decision making process. Deductive reasoning arrives at a conclusion based on multiple premises that are assumed to be true and inductive reasoning arrives at a conclusion based on what is probably true about the evidence (Goldstein, 2011). Consequently, doctors, attorneys, psychologists, and many other professionals are held higher on accountability for their decision making processes. This essay gives descriptions of how humans make logical and risky decisions, and methods

I am an INTPs or Introverted Intuition Thinking Perceiving. The careers associated with INTPs which I like are Computer Programmer and Engineer. INTPs prefer to observe and understand rather than participate and work which I can relate to. They can get really defensive if their values are dismissed which I also happen to do except I do let some things slide. Another similarity is that we don’t like to try new things and would rather get proficiency and move on than achieve mastery. It says that “if something has not moved and is of little of use it will often disappear in the mind of the INTP.” I am very forgetful of things I do not use on a daily basis like people’s names. If I don’t often talk to someone and never formally meet, than I won’t

The human mind is a fascinating thing, doing more work then we can possibly imagine and much more than we ever think about. The conscious part of the mind that controls our decision making abilities is itself controlled by many forms of biases operating both in the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind , many of which we never realize are even there. These decision affecting biases can be the difference between making a wise decision and a bad one. One such instance this holds true for is when deciding rather it’s time to give an employee a raise or not.

The intuition model is about how we see people and what we think of them based on our first impression. The studies that have been based on this model look at the central and peripheral traits and at the primacy and recency effects.

I feel as though, Christopher is correct about people relying on intuition too much. My reasoning for saying this is that there are many times when people are regretful because they make mistakes with no logic. There could be moments when someone has done something negative but instead of them making the right decision, they will choose to go with their gut. A time when I had to make an important decision was when I started doing my summer reading assignments. I'd began to think about what could happened to my grade if I had decided to be lazy and not do it. My gut feeling was to skip the summer reading and do the rest of my work but I was aware of the consequences that came along with that, so I did it. Therefore, I used logic rather than

I was doing a reading for my creative thinking class a while back and I came across an interesting idea that the author put forth. According to him, Michael Michalko, when we are stuck, unable to find a solution for a problem, our unconscious already has the solution, it is just a matter of pulling it up from the depths of our minds. This is where intuition comes from. Intuition is our subconscious telling us what we already know is or will be true. This subconscious to me is built off of experience, information, and our animal nature.

As humans, we spend little or no time processing the constant bombardment of information around us. We don’t have time to process everything, so we develop these mental shortcuts. We tend to follow our feelings, even if we don’t admit doing so. We always respond more to gut instincts, intuition, and other emotionally based triggers than we do to logic and reasoning. We just want to feel right about things. We are emotional, subconscious decision makers with a bit of logic. The following two techniques will provide the rational support

Once we know the source and role of our moral intuitions, to rely on them when facing moral problems makes no sense. In fact, as I have shown, our moral intuitions are often highly morally dubious in themselves, and if applied practically, may have hideous consequences. Endowing our evolved intuitions with moral value just because we have them is to commit a naturalistic fallacy, which, if a proponent of intuitions ignored, would seem to leave them required to deem all our intuitions valuable, notwithstanding humans can have intuitions that promote extreme forms of retribution and aggression. This might not seem too troublesome at first, given we are likely to have similar intuitions in similar situations, but some individuals will inevitably have very different intuitions, and intuitions will clash. For instance, unfortunately, there exist some people whose intuition tells them that having sex with infants is morally permissible. Though it is likely that most people's intuitions will say that such an act in morally wrong, they do not accept appeals to intuition made by the sexual perpetrator. In rejecting his assertions that his sexual act is morally good, opponents will appeal to reasons, such as the harm and pain a child will surely suffer at the hands of a paedophile.

Does my actions need valid reasoning, or can I just go with what my gut and experience tell me? Although our decisions may have adverse consequences, I believe that we dictate our own lives, not our lives dictate us. It could be what we want and could be very practical, but all in all, it is our decision.

Responding to the smile of a baby, jumping-up when startled by a sudden sound, or even pulling your hand away from a hot fire are all examples of instinctive behaviour; instinct does not involve thought but is an automatic, evolutionary response to external stimuli. Instinctive judgements are more intuitive in nature but though related, in terms of both not involving conscious thought, instinct and intuition are not the same. Intuition is based on subconscious thought; a pattern recognized by the brain based on, for instance, past experiences, whereas instinctive judgements appear to be independent of experience or rational thought. As a student of psychology, I like to make the distinction that instinct is a behavioural process while intuition is a cognitive, but subconscious, process. The term ‘judgement’ used in the above TOKstatement implies taking an objective or considered decision based on instinct alone rather than on conscious, rational thought. I believe the absence of conscious

In the animal kingdom, each animal has different intuitions. Several inclinations are similar throughout the distinct creatures like survival and protection. In the animal kingdom, all animals have evolved and kept the “good” traits that have kept them alive so far. The impulses of security and survival are not limited to animals, but also are human’s instincts. It comes from the primitive side of all people, the side that is more connected to the animal inside the being.
