I read somewhere that INFJs often believe they are psychic - and it's because they're so intuitive. I suppose we are close enough and we very intuitive so I imagine its pretty similar.
I do often get wierd coincidences, but I believe its pure intuition. Like, once, I was passing notes with a guy friend and all of a sudden I knew he would ask me out. Next thing I know, I get a note saying so. I try to figure out how I can tell, and I always wonder if I unconsciously pick up on his body language or something. I've been able to tel almost straight away when other guys like me too. I guess what I'm getting for my birthday a week ahead of time. And other things - I think something, and I'm like "It's not logical, don't think that" and then I'm RIGHT in the end. It's pretty sweet - I love my intuition.
I used to not trust my intuition very much but ever since I found out about personality types and how intuitive I am (I test as almost 100% intuitive) I've begun to try to trust it more. I've also begun to realize I use intuition for things I've never even noticed, I just thought it was stuff everyone could do. Like, I can zone out in class yet be able to answer the question when the teacher calls, and I believe that I can absorb the lesson even when I'm zoned out. I think its because when I'm dazed, I will pick up just enough words to fill in the blank.
Oh, I have a funny story about my intuition. When I ride the bus, my intuition has memorized all the turns and bumps in the road and peripheral views so I will get on, settle down for the ride, and get absorbed into a book, and my intuition always tells me when I get there and I look up right when we're reaching the stop. Whenever there's a sub and we take a different route, however, I will, without fail, miss my stop if I'm absorbed in my book because my intuition doesn't sense my arrival at the stop.
