The Actual Mental Processes Which Make

Intuition most often sizes up" some per-

at a particular time and circumstance, or
else in general, a habit. In the former case
the intuiter would learn, by intuiting what
the persons would do next and the series of
his behavior while in the latter case the in

here one sees part of the biologic answer to
the question why women and girls are the
expert intuiters among humans; obviously to
protect them automatically from the strenu-

over-soul, or whatever else it be termed
at times, is perhaps best made obvious
to males by observing how frequently it is
essentially lacking in themselves. Men
trained by intense need and vocational prac-
tise to making quick judgments, be they
trivial or be they important, do acquire
degree of true intuition
Frequently, too, male buster pretends a
true quick choice when in reality the pro-
nouncement comes "by chance" at random
or else by true intuition. But, on the other
hand, many men-thoSe, e. e., of judicial
temperament those intelligent enough to
know the supreme value of subconsciouS con-
sideration; and those upon whom rests as a
burden the responsibilities Of life and death
and happiness and woe-realize perfectly
well that they must not trust their impulsive
judgments too implicitly, for too frequently
are they irretrievably wrong
And, if we cut out Of our observational
experience all cases of pure male obstinacy
and bluff, with might to make it seem right,
how much stronger is the proposition that
men usually do not have this effective in
stinct to trust" their impressions which is so
vital a factor of intuition
