In this episode Joel and Antonia explain the difference between Introverted Intuition and Extraverted Intuition.
In this podcast you’ll find:
- Intuition is an effectively advanced pattern recognition. It is a learning style basically speculating the train of thought following what’s behind the curtain.
- Intuitives are not the majority so the world is not designed for them.
- People who have sensory learning styles aren’t comfortable speculating. They want more information to be safe and secure.
- We don’t have enough explanation why some people see the world profoundly
- Everyone uses intuition to some degree.
- Intuition isn’t judgmental. Its nature is really just trying to understand what’s happening behind the curtain.
- Inside us, our intuition is working in conjunction with our mind’s ability to evaluate the information it takes in. All by itself, intuition is totally non-judgemental. It’s simply a process of learning.
- 2 types of intuition: Introverted vs Extraverted Intuition
- Introverted Intuitive Style = Perspective. Perspectives have the ability to watch their own minds form a pattern. When they hear people talk or do something, their mind will shift into the other person’s perspective and get a sense of what’s going on.
- Perspective users oftentimes don’t reveal this kind of genius. They almost have the ability to predict future events.
- In perspectives, you are able to see how large groups of people are going to react.
- The process of learning takes some time to develop. Perspectives are very easy to be distracted. It’s almost like a fragile process sometimes. If there’s a lot of sensory input, it’s hard to stay focused because it’s a fragile process.
- When working on problem, they wouldn’t know how they arrived at the solution. If they get distracted, they might never be able to pick up the trail again.
- Out of the 25%, only 10% are using perspectives.
- Perspective people tend to have a lot of one sided relationships and so they have very unique needs.
- Because they don’t have that many people who understand how it works, it’s difficult for them to rise up to become better version of themselves.
- Profiler Training monthly Q&A call.
- Extraverted Intuition = Exploration. Unlike perspectives who are slow paced, exploration on the other hand, is more about exploring the world and understanding patterns on the outside world. They tend to be very interactive and engaging.
- They’re able to understand the connections and relationships to things that other people don’t. It’s about new connections.
- Intuition is interested in speed of information and depth of insight. Both types of intuition do this but Exploration is more inclined to speed of information and Perspectives likes the depth of insights.
- The world needs both styles of intuition. Without this, we would actually stagnate.
- The more you give yourself permission and make your intuition more powerful and strong, you could be truly unstoppable in making great things.

Thanks Peggy for the comment. Glad that these ideas and podcasts are resonating with you. I actually have a note above my work area that asks your question “Who am ‘I’?” And another question, “What is ‘Me’?”
I’d love to hear more about your spiritual journey. Antonia and I have A LOT of discussion about spirituality offline and will probably do some podcast episodes and other stuff around this in the future. Thanks again for listening and commenting Peggy.
HI!
I am so glad to find you! I am a perspectives introvert – absolutely resolved by your descriptions. However, I can also do extroverted intuition quite well. I have recently done a lot of research on mystics and learned about intuition. In fact, I proved to myself over the years I spent in seminary reseaching mystics, that mysticism is a personality type, not a zany religious fanatic that has visions and special divine powers. ;-) I like Myers Briggs (versus enneagram) for learning/perceiving/judging styles because it seems fairly simple and clear cut. Enneagram is not clear cut. My humanities friends like enneagram. My science/psychology friends like MB.
Anyway, My intuitive style became much more obvious when I left my pharma career and, for family reasons, portioned my life into a less time spent in technical/left-brained/objective mode and, on the side, picked up spirituality as the context to stimulate my always and forever interest in the brain/mind.
Your information is really affirming and certainly, resonates with my experience, especially over the last 15-20 years as I have tried to “fit in” with non-science people in the more diverse world.
I have written a prayer curriculum that contains a lot about how different personality biases approach God/prayer in ways that relate to their personality leanings. One of the most important questions we can look straight in the eye is “Who am I?” – I believe all religions point us to that question, as does personality profiling. When I understand myself, I understand you. When I am compassionate with myself, I can be compassionate with you. Thanks for all the great info you make available to us! I look forward to learning more! Peggy
Thanks for the comment Frederick.
I bet you’ve had similar things said to you.
The crazy part was that this person was VERY ANGRY while they said it. It bothered them so much they reacted in anger. This is the type of response some Intuitives are up against. It can be painful to show your intuition to the world.
I must say that when Joel reported his experience when people told him “why can’t you be normal” i laughed my ass off :D
That’s awesome feedback, Patrik. I LOVE that you felt understood. Gives me warm squishy feelings. :)
Everyone has a little Perspectives and Exploration in them, so whichever style of intuition you favor, the other will still resonate a bit. You should be able to identify your go-to, intuitive tool, though. One will definitely feel stronger than the other.
Cheers!
