Intuition Sensing and Autism
This article is interesting simply because it shows the clear connection between sensing and intuition, although showing Autistics tend to be sensing types.
Autistic people rely less on their gut instincts, say researchers | Mail Online
Excerpts of note
While analysis is based on computation and ‘rational’ thoughts, intuition is faster, often less accurate, and relies on ‘gut instincts’.
To solve these complex problems we rely on simplifying heuristics – gut instincts – rather than extensive logical reasoning. (Intuitives versus Sensing (logical reasoning))
People with autism tended to be more consistent in their pattern of choices, their greater attention to detail perhaps helping them avoid being swayed by their emotions.
The study reinforces previous research suggesting that the key difference in how people with autism spectrum disorders make decisions may lie in the amygdala, an area of the brain critically involved in emotional processing.
In a 2006 study published in the journal Science, Dr De Martino and colleagues showed that decision-making involves activity in the amygdala.
In people with ASD, the density of nerve cells in the amygdala differs from that in most other people.
