About This Quote

Intuition is not a different dimension of perception, as people usually try to make out. Intuition is just a quicker way of arriving at the same answer. Intuition is just a way of making use of the data and jumping the steps. When you gain your insight by intuition, you're using rules that are already fixed in place to quickly arrive at an answer.

The key to using intuition is knowing the rules that are already fixed in place. The reason that people often don't know what to do when they have this insight is because they're not sure why they arrived at their answer. Anyone with good intuition has already considered every possibility and has found the best solution given those possibilities.
