The following discussion is likely to apply more to thinking Intuitives and those that have a large degree of flex between the classic thinking feeling.

I have long said that Intuitives are more divergent thinkers than the linear sensing types; Intuitives take longer initially to arrive at the destination but have a wider appreciation of the surrounds. All along those travels both types are learning, sensors because of their limited exposure to novel experience become ever more efficient, but as they say 30 years experience can be one years experience 30 times.

So what of the divergent intuitive? What of these novel perspectives?

Well, Intuitives connect experiences and perspectives by any usefully detectable similarity. Ladybird bugs and Fire engines have a similarity, they are red. Interconnections can be by any sense. It’s the “threading of observations” that make an intuitive what they are. Because many observations can be threaded on different elements it can lead to many permutations of interconnections and therefore understandings. Intuitives are more likely to see everything as interconnected because they themselves can pattern order everything through this observational threading. Most of these interconnections are not even consciously known by the intuitive, until they have an intuitive insight that bubbles into consciousness. I’d even say intuition is a function of the older brain simply because it is sense driven at a subconscious level.

Anyway, on with hyping the intuitive mind.

Well, given that intuitive minds are threading and pattern making, then effectively being made aware of large amounts of discrete and relative data can drive their minds to ever widen trying make sense (order and connectivity) incorporating that information. It is completely the opposite environment to the sensing orientation which has prevalence in academic systems.

As an example say you want a great new name for a business, if you thumb through a dictionary the amount of information rapidly presented will promote your minds interconnective capabilities. This occurs in other situations such as reading patents, reading science articles and seeing connections to the arts or social systems and so forth. Take the medical aspect to autonomic body systems and that of engineering production tolerances and managing by exception, all interconnected.

Variety is good, but complementary variety is better… connective information is better retained than discrete unconnected information.

So, lastly, just imagine a business or science school that simply fired thousands upon thousands of abridged elements of learning at their students. It would work well with post graduate Intuitives although its the younger students where it would have the greatest lifelong effect. It would create a revolution in innovation simply because the students would start seeing the interconnections of everything, every problem we have almost has a solution example somewhere… take new pharmaceutical development for instance.

I think you can teach innovation, but like a language the younger its taught the better.
