In this podcast on igniting an Intuitive Awakening you’ll find:
- INFP Podcast
- Extraverted vs. Introverted Intuition podcast
- Intuitive Blending podcast
- There is a massive renaissance right now around Introverts.
- Quiet by Susan Cain
- We are in such a massively over communicated period
- Introvert podcast with Jenn Granneman of Introvert, Dear.
- Intuitives have very specific needs that nobody gets, except for other Intuitives.
- We want to infect the social consciousness with the concept of Intuition.
- The Intuitive/Sensor split isn’t in the social consciousness as much as Introvert/Extravert or Thinker/Feeler.
- Sometimes a hierarchy or judgment comes with the Sensor/Intuitive split, which may be why it hasn’t entered the social consciousness as much.
- 75% of the world are Sensors, and 25% are Intuitive.
- Like left-handed people in a right-handed world. The world isn’t designed for Intuitives.
- When Intuitives start to understand MBTI, elitism is often the result because they are tired of being marginalized.
- Reversed snobbery.
- The world is designed more for Sensors, so Intuitives feel demoralized.
- Then they realize what Intuition is and it is hard not to feel indignant.
- Things start to make sense when you find out you’re an Intuitive in a Sensor world.
- Sometimes we don’t have language to explain what is going on for us until someone else explains it for us.
- Intuition is not just about behaviors, it is about the wiring of your mind.
- Advanced pattern recognition.
- There is a segment of the population that is being underutilized and underserved.
- We need intuition now more than ever before.
- There was a lot of infrastructure that needed to be built in the last 150 years. So, Sensors were extremely important.
- Now that we have the foundation, Intuitives are taking us into the future with new technology.
- Sensors can be likened to hardware and Intuitives to software.
- When new software comes in the hardware needs to be updated.
- The Sensor world has to become more like firmware so it can adapt more quickly.
- The tension is important between Intuitives and Sensors because the Sensors force Intuitives to vet their information and make sure it is compatible with the infrastructure.
- Intuitives would keep reinventing the wheel if it wasn’t for Sensors.
- The best of the best innovations get adopted.
- Sensors are making sure that all of us are okay. They maintain our quality of life.
- For the most part, Sensors don’t even know Intuitives exist.
- Our job is to work with Sensors, so they get to know who we are and what we are about.
- How can we get Sensors to honor our presence and be open to it?
- Ladder of Abstraction
- Language in Thought and Action by S.I. Hayakawa
- You lose detail as you go up the ladder of abstraction.
- Your ideas become more concrete as you go down the ladder of abstraction.
- It’s not about hierarchy.
- The point of this podcast is that we are trying to create intuitive conversation for people who don’t get it anywhere else.
- Intuitive conversation can be highly speculative and a little wandering.
- Seth Godin’s “Unleashing the Idea Virus.”
- Sneezers = Evangelists
- We want to share the idea of Intuitives in a non-threatening manner.
- New thought leads to new action.
- You aren’t going to lose the things you have if change occurs.
- The world is getting better in spite of the messaging we sometimes receive.
- Sensors can be some of the most accommodating to change if it happens over time.
- Sensors bring a crucial gift to the world in making sure that change is sustainable.
- “I think differently, and I just wanted you to understand that.”
- Have the courage to speak up about your differences.
- It doesn’t have to be about hierarchy.
- Seek understanding.
- Finding other people of like minds can be very powerful.
- What will this look like when it gets in the public consciousness?
- What will you do and be when the world realizes you are Intuitive?

Intuition is not a mystery. The big five system describes them as being high on “Openness to experience”. This is contrasted with Authoritarian types.
The “mystical” intuition that people refer to is usually a “feeling”. People who are feelers (quite often women) more than thinkers aren’t aware of their own thinking and their thinking emerges in the form of a feeling of something foreboding. More often the flash that they call “intuition” is about some negative possibility.
On the other hand the pattern recognition that emerges as “intuition” or “creativity” comes from a rich interconnection that results from a wide open -non judgemental gathering of experiences. People high on openness are more inclined to explore. The intuitive flash called an “aha” experience is not some vague feeling of discomfort or hidden danger but is a clear gestalt connection that fits a pattern that enlarges a person’s understanding.
I like this post Randy. Alot of good ideas. :)
Enjoyed this podcast.
When I first learned that there are other Ns out there, it was a huge and welcome revelation. Nevertheless, you were spot on about needing both
and Ss’ ability to keep Ns grounded.
Case in point. I am an N; my husband is an S. The other night, I told him that what keeps me up at night is figuring out how to apply technology to hunger, poverty, and peace. He said that’s great, but what keeps him up at night is figuring out how to keep our family fed, clothed, and safe. ;)
AH! This has been one of my favorite podcasts! I am an ENFJ, with a very strong intuitive driving force and was raised in a family of sensors(Besides my one INFJ sister). This explains a lot of my pains growing up and learning to deal with sensor types. I learned from my best friend who is a Sensor how to co-live with them and my family too. And now I am great at hiding my intuitive nature, although it still comes out and I find people laugh at it often seeing it as a joke or silly thoughts. But I am able to connect the dots every quickly and easily.
During movies even I will get up for the restroom or get a snack and keep it playing, my roommates do not understand why I would want to miss anything, but I find it kind of fun to come back and put the missing pieces together and understand the plot line and where it is going. A good blog for this is: http://misadventureswithintjs.tumblr.com/ <<< I totally love how I now understand this and can see why my friends that are Ns have a hard time as well.
It is just sad that we have to mask it, otherwise we are seen as weird or silly for being able to see and think outside the box.
I have also noticed and curious if others agree, that over time intuitives can become sensors as they age merely because they have to attend to the details of life and surviving.
Sorry, I just find this super interesting and wish others would understand us so I would not have to hide my creative thoughts and mind, although for reason Antonia explained sensors are very important in life!!!!
Much thanks,

I remember reading that Intuition may be a somewhat recent human evolutionary trait, hence its relative scarcity, and that it is likely the conscious mind conversing with the subconscious or even unconscious mind. How many of you Intuitive dominants enjoy talking to yourself? Do you sometimes giggle at an unexpected perspective, a voice that seemingly came from nowhere? I wonder what percentage of stand up comics are Intuitive dominants.
If Intuition is a conversation with a hidden part of ourselves, I find mine is deeply curious, often creates little stories, is fairly trustworthy, quite likeable and a bit of a jokester too. This is one reason this INTJ loves privacy. For long periods, I’m good company if even only to myself :-) Besides, consciousness is somewhat overrated – human comprehension is more than just awareness deep. I do try to vet most Intuitions headed into the ‘real world’ though as human history has shown Intuition can be fraught with errors. Is it any wonder then that some people don’t trust us when we wear our Intuition on our sleeve?
It’s important to be mindful too that cognitive preferences are just that, preferred mental routines. We all house the two perceiving functions of Intuition and Sensation as well as the two functions that judge (evaluate) what we perceived, both Thinking and Feeling, the two expressions of Extroversion and Introversion, and how we come to decisions then act based upon the Perceiving or Judging routine. And none are throttled at 100%. I do often wonder what a being would be like that could use 100% of our human cognitive processes or exhibited cognitive abilities yet unknown to us.
I wonder too if it’s my dominant Introverted Intuitive role that attracts those, and me to them, that struggle psychologically. I’ve lived with a few creative ladies that eventually were diagnosed with mental strifes. A crisis counselor once told me that few people could be a caregiver for months at a time to someone in a crippling psychosis. But I was raised next door to a schizophrenic uncle back in the 1960s and 70s when there was little help so, maybe that is part of the ability. Then again, as Antonia once casted, INTJs can get inside the head of others and understand their perspectives or motives without bias (at least initially). I’ve always found these ladies deeply interesting up until the roller coaster they sometimes road upon completely left the tracks.
As for shedding light upon Introversion, perhaps consider submitting articles to local and even national newspapers or request that regular columnists address the Intuitive function. After all, we all use it. Blogging is a good tool. Some creative souls could conjure YouTube channels to promote Intuition education or at least post regularly to the many MBTI channels that already exist. The more adventureous and imaginitive could apply to kickstarter.com to get bigger ideas off the ground… Intuition TV anyone? Requesting more Intuitive TedTalks come to mind too.
As always, thanks for the cognitive stirring.
