Are you intuitive as in go by what you feel or are you logical, willing to be slow as long as you're sure you know what you're doing?

Passionate vs. constant? instinct vs reason? creative vs thoughtful? OC vs practical? Blablabla…

It depends on what the subject or concern might be. I’m very passionate about some things…value reason always…have always been creative…and, do attempt to be practical and thoughtful.

Why does it have to be either/or?

MissA's avatar

My thoughts exactly.

And anther thing; your examples are not, strictly speaking, mutually exclusive.

Truth is intuitive and logical, instinctive, practical,creative, thoughtful and most reasonable, this is why I have a passion for it.

I feel, that I think, that I know, that I am both.

All of it. ;-)

But what I always try to do is get to a practical solution, if possible – and even if I wouldn’t agree with it being the best one…and I also never try to reach a conclusion except about specific things (like…human rights generally).

The trick is in realizing that emotions are there to add color and depth to our lives, and to provide advance warning that something needs our conscious attention.

I use both. Don’t forget, intuition is based on everything you know; it’s just that the brain makes shortcuts in figuring out problems. It uses logic, but it takes giant steps. Often times intuition works out just fine. Sometimes it doesn’t. But it’s a good tradeoff, because, very often, the quick decision, even if wrong, is better than the well-through-through decision. Of course, if you make quick decisions and do it very well, you can get really rich. But all those quick decisions are based on a lot of study and learning before hand.

I consult both logic an intuition when figuring things out. Sometimes I go with one, sometimes the other, but usually I’d say it’s a blending of both.

I trust my instincts, but usually go on logic.

There is a difference? I just use my fucking brain!

CaptainHarley's avatar

What a strange thing for a brain to do! : D

I like to fly by the seat of my pants, but there are times I do think about what I’m doing.
