Today many people believe that our mind consists of two processes that are useful for the decision-making process. The first one is more complicated and is called the process of thinking. This approach is more detailed and logical. Another process is fast and beyond our control. Many people say that they receive some decisions made on the subconscious level and could not give any reasons for it. Moreover, among such decisions, there is a big percentage of right ones. They have a modern definition- insight, which is extremely popular among Psychology lovers.
This is the reason why it is longer and more time-consuming.
The first one is fast since it neglects the details and operates only information that is necessary for the background of your mind. To say more simply, your mind just matches the most important data with your previous experience and after the match took place you will receive a signal to do something or not to do (based on the positivity and negativity of your experience).
Knowing these facts, you could apply this knowledge into your professional sphere to be the most challenging competitor among your colleagues. The key factor to utilize the first level is the environment. This environment has its laws and regulations and other repeating situations. So, if you are a good professional who knows all these practices and laws you will develop your professional intuition based on the background of logic and knowledge.
Another aspect to be taken into account- you need to understand that intuition is something that is operating inside you and only you are responsible for it. Many people believe that intuition is something connected with God or other cosmological creatures depending on cultural features, or this is a process that could not be controlled. The key to intuition is your knowledge. The bigger it is then better your intuition works.
Intuition in investing
Every investor should make thousands of decisions every day. Intuition could be an advantage in this activity. With your investment intuition, you could highlight only the most attractive opportunities and then check them with dipper analysis based on your professional skills (Process1), which will allow you to save time and avoid lost profits. You as a trader will not have time to check all opportunities, this is the way to nothing. You could not only evaluate profitability with your intuition, but it is possible to integrate it in any aspect of future investment. For example, you could determine the potential of the product range that is a subject of company’s activity in which you are planning to invest.
Another example, you could be an investor, but not a trader. Intuition could help even in the case of search for the prospective trader. You could shortly interview main candidates and on a subconscious level analyze the manner of speech, the richness of vocabulary, theoretical knowledge, mimics, and so on. After that you could make the list of candidates narrower and apply process 1to determine the leader, that shall be employed.
