How good is your intuition?
Can you just "sense" things before they happen? If yes, does this bother you- or do you like it?
I unfortunatly have a very sharp intuition...I have the tendency to feel things before they happen very often, and to be honest, sometimes I dislike it.

2. Sometimes I just know things
I don't like it, because it's usually bad things that I pick up on.

7. I define it of using your experience to detect something

10. ahhh here's where I differ in my definition
Many times I simply "feel" it- without analyzing a situation with my mind; it is simply felt that something-good or bad- is going to happen.

16. Use the force luke
Sometimes I have it and sometimes I don't. Boobs tend to cloud my sense of intuition. Like kryptonite.

6. Intuition is a good thing. Use it wisely and it will help you.
I try to do that, and most of the time it works out well.

I don't diferentiate between street smarts, experience and intuition. They are all very much the same and very intertwined.

9. Very good. I have never dated an a**hole, and have attempted to
ward friends off of (in my opinion) obvious ones. If I spend 3-5 minutes w/ someone I am 95+% right on the $$.

As for sensing things ie:events before they happen- twice strongly, many times somewhat to weakly.

13. almost unbelievably good
For example, I sense right now that no one will reply to this post. I guarantee you that will happen. I just know. It's spooky.

17. Well, I just knew someone was going to make a post like yours.
:D

Seriously, though, for a good look at how intuition operates, two books I recommend: The Edge of Intuition (if you can find it); also, The Gift of Fear, which should be required reading.

There is intuition which is from the paranormal realm, such as clairvoyance, and then there is intuition that is from the realm of our subconscious processing information, and that's the kind that tells us not to step into the elevator because something about that person on it "just doesn't feel right," no matter how nice he or she may look.

18. I'm a subconscious processing kind of guy
I frequently disregard my own intuition and come to regret it.

14. Mine's ok...
With some things; I read people very well, which has helped me professionally and privately, but as far as my "gut feeling" goes, it comes and goes..
