Do you guys find yourselves to be very intuitive? If so, do you trust said intuition? For example, if you had plans to go to the store today, and got an odd, sudden, irrational "gut feeling" that said you shouldn't be there, would you stay home, or would you shake it off and go anyway?
Personally, I have learned to always, always ALWAYS trust my intuition in cases like that. Nine times out of ten I end up being very glad I followed my gut. When I can't or don't, I usually end up regretting it. How about you guys?

Hmmm, Yes I would say I tend to follow my intuition most of the time. Certain people and/or situations will just throw off certain vibes for me. Reading these vibes is my whole key to survival.

Haha wow, a very interesting question! I've definitely gotten gut feelings before, and as a believer in things happening for a reason, I try to follow it whenever possible.

I'm not one for metaphysical types of things, but I definitely believe that everyone has some sort of sixth sense that alerts them to danger somehow. I think it might be some evolved way to protect ourselves. Case in point, about four or five times in my life, I would get a feeling in the pit of my stomach, like it would drop out from underneath me. I would then get very anxious. Not to the point I needed to leave the area, but I certainly got the feeling that someone I knew, somewhere, was in trouble or something bad was happening to them. Every time but once, I found out later it was true (within six hours or so).
So yeah. Go with your gut. It knows what it's talking about.

Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,
One such that by him the city shall be opened to us. |

Unless you happen to be Rob Gordon, in which case, you have come to the conclusion that your guts have shit for brains.

I tend to have very good intuition but terrible luck.
How the hell does that work?

I have very good intuition, but I also don't really think of "intuition" as being random out of no where feelings. Your "intuition" is your subconscious mind picking up on subtle behavioral queues from people or noticing similarities with a present or projected situation and your past experiences and analyzing them. The "gut feelings" you get are produced by your subconscious and are just your subconscious's fastest means of alerting you to its findings. Therefore, the more observant you are and the better analytical skills you have, the better your intuition will be.
Then again, that's just how I've always taken it. Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

My Myers-Briggs personality type says that I'm an intuitive person, but my intuition tells me not to trust those tests.

I freely admit that I am a complete idiot. However, my intuition is, for lack of better words, abso-freakin-lutely spectacular. The best example that comes to mind:
One day in fourth grade, I woke up and felt...off. Uneasy, somehow, like something in my life was not quite the way it was supposed to be. Due to the fact that I had never felt like this before, I faked sickness to stay home from school. I came back the next day, and people told me that someone had brought knives to school the previous day, and was going to stab me with them, and had gotten suspended for a month. So basically, if I hadn't faked sickness that day, I might not be here right now.

Mine says so as well, and judging by how accurately the results decsribed me, I think it holds weight.

That's freaking crazy. Glad you listened.
Jeebus, I completely agree with you. I've always felt that intuition is our subconscious picking up things our conscious mind misses.

I hear some horror stories from some of you about grade school, but honestly, where the fuck do you go to school? I went to school in Canada and nothing every happened remotely close to this stuff, it makes it sound like I went to school in the white house and you guys went to Compton schools, god damn.
My bad for rambling.
I guess I've had intuition but sometimes it's just irrational fear so when ever I get that feeling I often go against it.

I go to Sullivan, Missouri. The cesspool of America. The Redneck capital. The hick hub. The skank nexus. The hoosier mecca.
