• Abstract:

  The aim of this study is to offer a more in-depth interpretation of the concept of intuition, based on research carried out with gifted people from the Gifted debate group, linked to the Heraclitus Research and Analysis Center (CPAH). Intuition is analyzed as a capacity that goes beyond intellectual abilities measured by IQ tests, also encompassing emotional and social intelligence and subjective creativity. Creativity is discussed as the ability to generate new ideas spontaneously, without necessarily having prior knowledge of the subject. Thus, intuition is presented as a phenomenon that explores various cognitive and emotional dimensions in search of new possibilities.
