Check if you have a 'sixth sense' by answering 9 questions suggested by scientists: intuition test
2024-07-30
Have you ever had a gut feeling about something and later found out you were right? That's your intuition talking to you.
For centuries, the idea of a “sixth sense” and heightened intuition has fascinated humanity. Many believe that beyond our basic five senses, there is an innate ability to perceive and make sense of the world in ways that go beyond the physical.
From a psychological perspective, intuition is an automatic process that helps us draw conclusions about situations or people without conscious reasoning. This type of unconscious processing often leads people to think of intuition as paranormal or divine.
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that the PIEZO2 gene gives us extra sensory capabilities. A “sixth sense” is often referred to as this mysterious ability to perceive things beyond our normal senses, whether through heightened sensitivity, extrasensory perception, or a deep connection with the world around us and other people.
Some experts suggest that intuition is a genetic trait inherited from our ancestors. This sixth sense complements our primary senses—sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing—and allows us to “feel” differently.
Although some people have stronger intuition than others, those with a well-developed sixth sense are considered to have an advantage over those who do not.

From 6 to 9 points : You have a high level of intuition. Congratulations! You have the ability to sense and perceive information without being aware of its source or cause. This can manifest itself in the ability to make correct assumptions or decisions based on non-obvious facts or impressions. Intuition allows you to recognize subtle signals that others may miss. When used correctly, intuition can be a powerful tool for decision making and understanding the world around us. Trust your instincts more often, and you will make the right decisions.
3 to 5 points : Your intuition is average. Consider developing it further. To develop your intuition, try practices such as mindfulness meditation, journaling, and paying attention to your inner voice. Trusting and cultivating this inner guidance can transform various aspects of your life, making it a skill worth developing.
Less than 3 points : Your intuition is low. People with low levels of intuition may have difficulty recognizing non-obvious connections or understanding subtle signals from the environment. They often rely on concrete facts and logic, ignoring intuitive impressions or premonitions. This can lead to missing important information or opportunities that could have been discovered with more careful perception. Don’t worry, intuition can and should be developed.
