Intuitive Intelligence ... what's this ?

Intuitive Intelligence is not a new definition of intelligence, nor is it a measure of intelligence, it is rather a way of understanding and making conscious some of the information that we already have and mobilizing it to help us achieve our business and personal goals. Intuitive Intelligence has four key tenets that can help shape a novel business approach focusing on innovation to drive sustainable growth and overcome the specific challenges of the new economy. The four tenets are: 1. Thinking Holistically: The ability to conceptualize and focus on 360° value rather than exclusively on profit 2. Thinking Paradoxically: The ability to understand and accept that the most efficient route to one’s goals may not be linear and may appear completely illogical 3. Listening for the Unusual: The ability to notice the unusual or the irrational at the same time that you listen with an ear that analyzes and evaluates 4. Leading by Influence: The ability to relinquish control from the perspective of a traditional, hierarchical type of leadership and instead inspire autonomy and ownership of shared goals in your team In personal terms, we could distinguish three types of intelligence: 1. Instinct. This is now thought to be inherited intelligence unique to a particular species. Like a hard disc with information on it before it leaves the factory. For example, a bird knows to sing a certain song, and a dog knows to growl when angry. Humans instinctively know to suckle when infants. Children (and adults) are instinctive afraid of spiders and snakes unless taught otherwise. Many adults will jump with fright when startled by a big spider, followed by embarrassment because they know the spider is harmless. 2. Intuitive Intelligence. Intuitive intelligence is the ability to learn complex skills and solve problems on a subconscious basis; for example, a child learning to speak without learning the rules of grammar. The rules of grammar actually were learned, but the child cannot tell you want they are. This type of intelligence is particularly powerful at picking up patterns in a seemingly chaotic situation. When the right answer to a complex problem pops into your head but you can't figure out how you came up with it, it's probably the product of your intuition. Important: Intuitive intelligence is better at solving certain types of complex problem than our conscience, sensory intelligence. 3. Sensory Intelligence. As described by Jung, sensory intelligence is our ability to think logically and to learn new facts in our world. As children grow up, their ability to learn intuitively appears to decrease as their ability to think methodically and logically increases. Everyone people possess all three types of intelligence. Sensory intelligence is what we normally think of as intelligence because it is conscience thinking, while the other two types are more mysterious and subsequently discounted. Intuitive intelligence is used to identify relationships and concepts while sensory intelligence is used in remembering details and linear thinking.
