I know there are many of you out there thinking, What is my Intuitive type? How would I know since I don’t even think I’m
intuitive?” Well, let’s get rid of that myth right now! EVERYONE has intuitive abilities. We are born with them – Just like we’re all born with a brain.
Some of us may have more natural abilities and some of us exercise our abilities more so they get stronger, but we all have them. So I really would like to encourage those of you who think you don’t have them to start building your intuitive muscle!
Now, let’s see what type of intuitive you are. There are four main types and you probably are actually a combination of all of them, but there will most likely be 1 or 2 that stand out for you. These types are:
1) Visual or Clairvoyant
You are a visual intuitive is you can easily see pictures in your mind’s eye. When someone asks you to imagine something, it there in great detail for you.A more advanced visual intuitive might also be able to see auras around people, plants and animals. These are the people who say things like “I see what you mean.” or “That looks like a great idea.” Do you tend to need to see something in order to understand it or learn about it? If so, it is likely that you are a visual intuitive.
2) Auditory or Clairaudient
You are an auditory intuitive if you can easily hear things in your mind. You might easily remember conversations word-for-word or excel in music. You are the person who “hears” messages or words in your mind rather than seeing them. These are the people that say things like “I’m hearing you.” or “That sounds like a great idea.” It’s possible that if you are an auditory learner (someone who needs to hear an explanation of a lesson or new idea to understand it), you are likely an auditory intuitive.
3) Feeling or Clairsentient
These are the people who feel things in their bodies. They may get a stomach-ache when entering a room in which there’s been an argument. When making a decision, the wrong one might make them fell uptight, heart rate might go up and the right one might make them feel calm and centered. These are the people who use language like “I’ve got a felling about this.” or “I’m going with my gut on this one.”
4) Knowing or Claircognizant
These people fell as though the “just know” things. They can’t explain why – they are not necessarily “seeing”, “hearing” or “feeling” things… they just KNOW. There might even be a learning style that matches this type of person – they tend to just know the answers to things and can’t really explain how they came to the correct solution.
So have you come up with your type or combination of types? If so, you can work on improving them and the other types as well so that you can become a “well-rounded” intuitive! Check out my 4-week teleclass on this very topic here: SourceConnect: Access and Understand Your Inner GPS
Awesome post, Patricia! I feel very blessed to be a hybrid of all of these….it keeps it interesting! xxoo
Thanks, Jennifer – I think you are like me in that regard – I’m definitely a hybrid as well and would love to let others learn how they can reinforce the styles they are weaker in – definitley makes it more interesting!
I find it interesting that intuitive style coincides so closely with learning style. Can you explain this connection and why they are so closely linked? I’m guessing that it is because our intutitive style gives us a preference for how we receive new information.
Hi, Sandee –
Yes, I noticed that as well – I think it is exactly as you say… it has to do with how we receive information. The fourth one regarding “knowing” I think is also a learning style we don’t hear much about. But I’ve know several people who feel like when taking tests, they somehow just “know” some of the answeres and can’t seem to tell you that it is something they are seeing, hearing or feeling…interesting stuff!
I am definitely a Visual/ Clairvoyant.
It is so empowering when we know what activates our intuition because than we can use that as a tool to tune in and receive messages and insights.
Why doesn’t that surprise me, Laura!?! Most artists are and yes, knowing your style gives you a leg up in being able to utilize your intuition!
Thanks for sharing quick and easy ways to recognize our own intuition and gifts.
Write on!~

Thanks, Lisa – I hope it helps people recognize that they really are intuitive!
Patricia,
You have presented an easy fun way to recognize ourselves. Thanks, Mitch
Glad you enjoyed it Mitch – there are so many ways to learn more about ourselves!
I know that I am but admitting it is one thing and learning to use it another. Lol. How do I go about developing it?
Lots of way to develop it, Kim –
Meditation and journaling are great ways to start. I am teaching a class on that right now – it will be offered as home study course in a few weeks…
Hi, Kim – of course you are intuitive! We are all intuitive…and practice makes us more so.
