Boss Management and “N” Factor
“Do you really think you are intuitive”? My boss is amazing with his straight questions, but this one was out of blue and hit the same way. I always thought that I was. Actually, when I read’ Tipping Point ‘by Gladwell and kind of related to it, I felt I was N type. Then followed “Fooled by randomness” by Nicholas Taleb and I certified my self fulfilling prophecy of intuitive me.
So, when I faced this” up in your face” (my beloved Mills and Boon chaap Boss is known for it), I thought for a while which lasted 24 hours.
What is the difference between high intuitive and high logic people? I logicise everything and so am admired by clients for right decisions most of the times. In recruitment panel, even when I conduct a psychometric profile of interviewee, I by heart know what it would look like. Where does that come from? I asked myself. It comes from repetitive pattern too but people are different despite behaving alike. Therefore, why do I get strong hunch about someone. It is more intuitions, m sure. However, I never speak it. I need data to back it up and there comes logicising. I know, most of my personal decisions are pure from heart and I have hurt myself sometime.
Matter of fact remains the same. Like me, I am sure thousands of people are more intuitive but do not know or admit it. Sometime being ridiculed and sometime to make others believe, one needs strong support of data.
Once again,thin slicing of thoughts converting into facts and figures. After all,its sure fire combination.
