Epstein Thinking Type Test (rational and intuitive)

Intuition allows you to instantly find a solution without having sufficient information for logical analysis. The brain suggests information that it cannot know, but still knows

Plato believed that humans have two types of thinking: logical and intuitive. The left hemisphere controls logic, while the right hemisphere controls creative thinking and intuition.

The right hemisphere instantly processes incoming information from the senses. It is there that emotions are formed and connections between objects and events are discovered. Intuitive thinking is a feeling, not a knowledge, because a person cannot explain logically why he made the decision he did.

Only 3% of people have strong intuition, and most often these are creative people.

Check your level of intuition: can you trust your own instinct or is it better for you to follow logic and the voice of reason?

We prepared 6 images where we painted over objects or took photographs in black and white. The correct answers will be immediately below the tasks. For each correct answer, award yourself 1 point, and then read the results.

What is intuition? It turns out that they understand it differently. Some believe that this is a sixth sense, an almost paranormal sense that defies the laws of logic.

Good intuition. Developing good intuition

Intuition, good intuition, how developed it is in you, you probably have never thought about it. And if you thought about it, the question arose: how developed is my intuition and how to develop it. Intuition is something inexplicable, as it is called the sixth sense. You can take the following test and understand how developed your intuition is. Based on the test results, you can understand how to act in a given situation in life.

The test consists of four levels:

1. The first level - it gives us a signal of danger; your intuition is poorly developed or undeveloped at all.
2. The second level is something both positive and negative and gives a neutral answer, it can be yes or no.
3. The third level is creative intuition, it can help you create and promote some ideas and plans.
4. The fourth level is the intuition of a higher purpose - the development of higher abilities, self-knowledge.

How to develop intuition?

To believe, without faith a person cannot feel and use his intuition.

Be confident in developing your intuition and being able to use it. Underestimating himself, a person will constantly doubt the correctness of his decisions and actions.

You need to ask yourself questions correctly, deep into yourself, only then will you hear the answer.

You need to ask yourself the question directly without hesitating “yes” or “no.” For example: “Should I take this job or not,” “Should I take out a loan or not,” “Should I fly abroad.” The form of the question is an important and fundamental element in intuition.

Intuitive sensations come by themselves, you don’t need to be afraid of them, you need to be able to listen, drive them through yourself. More and more of them will come. Then you can start asking questions, specific questions, and then the answers will come, more and more of them.

Do not ask your intuition simple everyday questions; this will not develop your intuition. For example, “Should I go to the cinema with a girl or a friend,” “Read a book to my child or play with him,” “Give me a drink of mineral water or milk.”

Never start with complex questions, you should always start small and gradually your intuition will develop.

The main thing in the development of intuition is to be able to hear, hear yourself, hear your voice from within and be able to recognize what you receive.

Tactile sensations are sounds, tingling, chills, a rush, heat, it can be directed from the left side of the body or the right. If you feel on the left side, then it is “no”, and if on the right, then you need to listen to this; it should be the right decision in your question or choice “yes”.

Sensual sensations depend on the mood of the person asking this or that question, you yourself will notice how your mood will change. If your soul is light and warmth comes from the question, it means “yes” from yourself, but if you become gloomy, the mood has disappeared, it is of course “no”.

The answer to intuition can be in the form of an image, for example, you can close your eyes and if you see warm colors it means “yes”, if the colors are black or dark tones it means “no”.

Sometimes the intuitive answer can be heard in the form of a smell, if it is a pleasant, gentle, warm smell that you like it is “yes”. But if it's a cold, unpleasant, even disgusting smell, it's a no.

For some people, external sources can be factors influencing intuition, for example: television, advertising, books, newspapers, magazines, these are often considered signs by people. For example, if a bird sits on the window and knocks, a letter will come from an old friend or relative.

For intuition to be effective, you need to work with your feelings. When you ask a question, you need to feel your feelings, and not wait for them to manifest themselves.

For the first stages of intuition development, a calm, secluded environment is needed. Once you learn to use intuition, you can use it in your daily life. In the future, when in the turmoil of our days you want to use it, you simply relax, do not be distracted by the bustle around you and work with intuition. Answers do not always come right away; you need to be able to concentrate and work with intuition.

Sometimes real events do not coincide with your intuition, which means that logic intervened in the process of working on your intuition.

You must always carry out decisions that come through intuition; if you do not do this, then faith in intuition will disappear.

You need to trust not only your feelings. Intuition, logic, and common sense should always be nearby in almost equal shares.

TOP 9 signs of good intuition

Are you always on time? Thank your intuition!

These signs indicate that you have every chance of becoming a real psychic:

1. You see colorful dreams. Dreams are inextricably linked with intuition, because both have the same source - the subconscious. Therefore, if you have bright and colorful dreams, most likely you have good intuition. Write down your dreams every morning and then try to interpret them.
2. Look at the clock at “smooth” time. Does it often happen to you that you look at your watch at 15:55? If this happens every day, then your intuition is in perfect order.
3. You are empathic. What is an "empathic person"? This is someone who subtly feels the emotions of others. And if you feel the emotions of others, then you can predict their actions. This is a matter of practice.
4. You feel when you are being lied to. Have you often caught your loved ones lying? Perhaps this is not a sign of observation, but a “symptom” of extrasensory abilities?!
5. You know how to “hear” your own body. Do you know what is the secret of youth for mature (and sometimes older) women? They simply know how to “hear” their body. When they need rest, they always give it to themselves. When the body requires load, it is also provided. The body, in turn, thanks you for its youth and health.
6. Anticipate phone calls. Has it ever happened to you that you pick up the phone and it immediately starts ringing? Or do you just have to think about the person and he immediately dials your number? If this happens once every five years, then it is a mere coincidence. What if every day...?!
7. Rely on inspiration. Famous athletes often talk about how when a game (or fight) isn't going well, they simply let their muscle memory take over. And she is already doing her job. As a result, the athlete achieves success (wins or simply remains safe and sound). Here, too, we are talking about nothing more than intuition.
8. You let go and find the right people. The ability to feel people is now required not only by psychics and esotericists. Even in business, this quality will not be superfluous. By the way, many owners of large companies hire those people whom their intuition “advises” them.
9. You always arrive on time. Are you late for the train, and when you arrive at the station, you find out that it was delayed by an hour? Isn't this intuition?!

Please note: intuition should not be taken as a gift from heaven. This skill can be developed independently. The main thing in this matter is to listen to yourself and observe those around you.

How to develop your intuition?

Types of Nonverbal Communication

Invented gestures

In addition to the unconscious one, people also came up with a new nonverbal system. Thus, special forces officers transmit important information and coordinate their actions in complete silence, with only gestures. The pilot, having made sure that the aircraft and equipment are in good working order, shows his thumb: “everything is in order, I can take off.” An ordinary person is at a rock concert and makes the famous "goat" because he really likes this music.

Unconscious gestures

This is the same body language that has been preserved with us since ancient times. When communicating with an interesting interlocutor, we, as a rule, point our toes in his direction. When we are under moral pressure, we put our palms forward - as if putting a barrier between ourselves and the interlocutor, protecting ourselves.

Development of intuition

Everyone can develop their intuition. It is not for nothing that it is called the sixth sense; intuition is characteristic of every person, along with sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Not everyone can recognize and hear their inner voice. There are other secret abilities inherent in a person that live inside him; intuition must be awakened, developed and supported. The main thing is faith, if a person believes, then everything will work out for him.

Everyone knows what consciousness and subconscious are. Consciousness is the ability to think, reason, ponder and determine one’s attitude towards reality. We can observe when any thoughts appear in our heads. The subconscious is an imaginary concept. The subconscious is a section of unclear, unconscious thoughts, feelings, and ideas.

According to scientists, the human consciousness is capable of perceiving a small fraction of information, while the subconscious is hundreds, thousands of times more. And only the subconscious always spontaneously, unexpectedly for you, finds the right, and sometimes the only solution. It is the subconscious that helps us quickly make decisions in different situations, while the conscious mind thinks for a long time and chooses options.

Online test

To learn to understand yourself, as well as your intuition, you should make some efforts, understand how it works, how to “decipher” its signals, and most importantly, listen to them in time. It happens that under the influence of stress, in a hurry or under pressure, a person does the opposite - but in the end he realizes that he intuitively wanted to do something differently. Sometimes we refuse to listen to ourselves, follow the intended plan - and as a result we find ourselves in unpleasant situations. If you learn to listen to your instincts, you can avoid many mistakes.

The test will tell you how to understand how developed your intuition is and whether it is worth training. Answer the questions provided by choosing one of three options:

• Often – 3 points;
• Sometimes – 2 points;
• Never – 1 point;

The connection between intuition and nonverbal means of communication

People who have well-developed intuition are considered almost magicians. In fact, they simply know how to listen to people’s unconscious gestures, unusual events: a different tone of voice from the interlocutor, a lull where the wind usually blows, and other important, but not always noticeable signs of change.

Anyone can develop intuition, you just need to pay more attention to details and listen to your inner voice more often. Each of us has unconscious ways of communicating, which means that everyone can recognize similar ones in another person.
