LESSON 3:
INTUITIVE AND
ANALYTICAL
THINKING
 INTUITIVE THINKING
 The word intuition comes from the Latin word
“Intueri”, meaning “to contemplate or anticipate.
 It is defined as a process of sensing rational
discernment of ideas without need of evidence
or proof for its validation and confirmation.
 In simple terms, it refers to the initial thinking
and response to a certain scenario not
supported whether it will result to a right
decision or not. It is of wrong notion that
intuition is synonymous to instinct.
ANALYTICAL THINKING
 An analytical thinker conceptualizes
every detail, scenario, data and
particulars before proceeding or deciding
on a material concern.
 This approach emphasizes the
importance of analyzing the facts, the
comprehensive planning and projecting
the probable outcome and
consequences of every decision.
