yeah, I have intuition in some areas. I find that I'm able to debug code with
it. People find it uncanny when I can get into a million line system and track
down obscure stuff. It's paid off over time. I don't tend to use it with people.
It seems to be overridden by my optomistic belief that people are generally good
and not out to screw me.

I have seen it in other people as well. I'm almost lead to believe that it's
something similar to the ESP ability seen in some people. They're picking up
some cue outside our senses.

	I use my intution all the time.  When I have a very strong feeling, I
go with it, especially where people are concerned!  That's what compelled
me to see Steve again after meeting him the first time!!  Glad I listened
to it!

	Instincts? Yeah, I've got 'em and I usually trust 'em. When I don't
trust 'em then I usually get into trouble....

It doesn't take instincts for ME to get into trouble 8^)

    
    I've learned the hard way to listen to my instincts. They're
    usually right on.

    I agree with all of you...Animals have a far superior natural
    instinct than us, we can learn from them....I trust them before people.

    
    I think everybody's misusing the words "intuition" and "instinct". 
    The insticts are 'motherhood', 'need of sex and food' etc. while the 
    intuitions are sophistical paralogisms.

    No animal but human has a neo-cortex in its brain. Maybe, that's the
    main reason that we have lost some of our intuitive behaviors.

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, intuition is "the fact of
knowing as if by instinct, without conscious reasoning", and instinct "a
powerful motivation or instinct", so I think we can pretty well use the word
as Holly intended it!

Lola

    APA (American Psychologists Association) extinguish the
    meanings of these words.
    Intuition is partly related with subconscious and pre-conscious studies
    (can be a concern of parapsychology) while instincts are generally 
    related with genetics and behaviorism.

    Gee.. remember how it was fun back in the days when it was all just about 
    sex and food... 
    
    ...all I can say is that the author of the above stayed at school just
    a wee bit too long...
    
    
    
    ..is it any wonder that I instinctively wanna choke the living sh*t
    outta people who pen such rubbish??

    I still trust animals more...We haven't reached their level yet...
    	they are way above us....
    
    
    

    
    
    I think that in some ways past experiences 'train' us to act in
    a certain way when encountering new situations.  There is also the 
    familiarity thing with people that I've known for a while -
    it is easier to detect when they behave out of character.
              
    I listen to my 'inner voice' a lot more now that when I was younger
    and can frequently 'feel' when something is amis.  Although there are 
    occasions where I am  wrong, over time they frequently prove to be 
    correct.

    mmm...Nobody liked my search of common language. Be cool friends, I think
    you don't act intuitively but with prejudices. I live too far away to
    you but want to be closer with you. Turn to your own self and feel how
    innocent you are. I'm not a star trek rocketeer who try to hubble
    bubble bright sentences to frown you on, I'm just a simply mortal point 
    in the universe.

    First;
    If people demand friendness from each other, the first thing they
    should do is to understand each other truely; and as soon as I'm concerned
    " that's why we use LANGUAGE ". 
    
    Second;
    Beware of your naughty tone, it is unlike you to behave like this. It
    seems you should attend psychoanalysis sessions for a personal
    reorganization.

    I feel 'pitilessly killed' like the victims of the movie "BASIC INSTINCT".
