Exploration of Intuitive Abilities Amongst Working and Aspiring Managers

Abstract

Intuition is the aptitude to understand or know something immediately, without conscious reasoning and intuition does not mean something contrary to reason, but something outside the prefecture of reason. The study under reference examines the intuitive abilities of working and aspiring managers on the basis of diverse demographic variables. A sample of 974 respondents (four hundred sixty five working managers and five hundred and nine aspiring managers) has been studied to reach at the results. The results of the study affirm that females are as intuitive as their male counterparts and marriage does not interfere with the intuitive abilities of the aspiring managers. The respondents with arts and professional background have scored high on intuitive abilities as compared to their counterparts from science and commerce backgrounds. Dual specialization proves more beneficial as compared to the single specialization however field of specialization does not affect the intuitive abilities of the aspiring managers. However with regard to the working managers' intuition level does not seem to differ significantly on any of the variable of the study.
