The more confident I am in myself, the more I trust in my intuition.

What about you?

"Your intuition can communicate with you in pictures, words, feelings and gestalts of awareness. It may come in hunches, visions, inspirations, urges, voices, flashes of insight, light-bulb moments, epiphanies and so on." - Aine Belton

I have some trust issues, and they include my intuition.
Or well, i trust my intuition well enough if its about other people, if it affects me in a personal way, my intuition becomes like a stranger.

I am very confident that my iNtuition tends to be almost completely accurate (I would say ~95% success rate), but the part of me that is skeptical and scientific and hates for things to go unquestioned usually hates to just indulge my iNtuitive side without a fight. Honestly, though, it is whenever I second-guess my iNtuition that I tend to make erroneous conclusions and decisions.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I am 9.992405 confident in my intuition. It's like this.. I liken intuition to being able put things together (assemble) without reading the Instruction Manual.

It just happens.

I've mentioned this in another thread but I trust mine 100% now... though I had to learn the hard way!

i trust my intuition a lot lately. the more i just run with it, and disregard the objectivist consequences, the better things seems to work out for everyone.

As I've gained more confidence and just go with where my intuition leads me, things have been going way better in my life. There are always some mistakes, but getting a few of the small things wrong is worth it for all the times it is right, especially and usually with the big decisions.

This is a subject that has been on my mind a lot. It isn't trustworthy. Ne is such a selective analysis of people based on our biases. The data set is so limited - we pick and choose and judge based on a very particular set of information.

I have so much intuition, it's coming out of my ears. I've realized, however, that I've badly misinterpreted people in the past because I've emphasized certain qualities because I felt that they were more relevant than the totality.

We need to take a step back and analyze our intuitions.

When I was younger yes, not so much now that I am a bit older. I am working on it however. I now realize how much of an asset it can be.

I think our Ne works just fine. Picking, choosing and judging is Te our least developed cognitive function.
The 2nd letter is information gathering. The 3rd letter is decision making. Ne doesn't analyze people, it just gathers information.

INFP functions in order:

Fi - making decision about ourselves
Ne - gathering information about others
Si - information gathering about ourselves
Te - making decisions about others

I find Ne very reliable. I avoid people I get a bad feeling from. Ne soaks up information from body language, speech pattern and hundreds of little nuances that I don't consciously register. Fi tells me how I feel about myself. I don't decide about other people because that's unreliable. I decide how I feel? Do I feel comfortable? Do I feel uncomfortable?

I've got bad feelings about a few people in my life. I don't know why, but I didn't stick around to find out. The problem comes when we get a good feeling around someone.

Now here's the problem that I see with INFPs. Our Ne gives us a vibe about a person. Step 2, we decide we feel good around this person and we might even like them. But we don't know why?

Instead of taking time to find out objectively. INFPs project. We want to like this person so we project qualities on this person that has no basis in reality. We start liking the person we imagine instead of the person that is. And when that person's actions doesn't match what we projected, we feel betrayed.

I trust my intuition very much. I don't think it has ever failed. Not big time, anyway.

I often doubt my intuition, but that's my logic speaking to me and even when my logic doubts my intuition, deep down I still trust it; the doubt is only superficial - a defence mechanism to prevent dissapointment if my intuition should be wrong.

 

[ponyjoyride]

I've learned to trust my intuition more because whenever I ignore what my intuition is saying I end up doing mistakes and wrong decisions.

 

[Riy]

I trust me intuition very well, Last time I ignored it, it still came out as the one who was right. I also like the "How did you know?" reactions of some people. :tongue:
