I am asking this question because I want to learn how to avoid interacting with people who use intuition & or gut instinct in a social setting. People who use intuition & or gut instinct is incompatible with my preference for evidence-based approach.
An interesting take. The truth is however, we all rely on a mix of both to make decisions every day.
Our brains calculate thoughts inside a space of abstraction and pattern recognition.
Evidence is great but by itself it's very limited in most real world situations. Think of how many people were wrongly put in chains or death row due to too much trust being put into evidence alone.
Intuition is the subconscious pattern recognition part of you that is constantly playing devils advocate. Constantly trying to find what parts of the evidence fit into the puzzle properly and which ones are uncanny.
Placing no trust in your intuition leads to overconfidence and lazy decision making.
In my experience, people who think in this way are usually antisocial in some way. Either being homebodies or assuming a somewhat narssistic persona in places where they are able to network in order to advance social/career interests. These types usually seem socially ept but then once you get to know them, will slowly reveal their distaste for people around them.
I would venture to say people who go out of their way not to use intuition account for less than 20 out of a hundred people.
Probably would want people with corperate jobs, people who have roles where their actions are held under very close scrutiny, like someone in banking or finance, possibly computers too.
People who take on teaching roles straight out of college too.
I would avoid just about anyone who started a business from scratch or gambles. Anyone who's a successful womanizer, people who are carefree.
You're going to want to look for people who speak on things for which they have preference for, the ones who enjoy and instigate conversations involving sharing information. People with good memories are more likely to be like this.
Probably not. How will you know that the first time you meet them?
evidence-based approach is related to perspective. The same "evidence" can be seen differently by two different people... so it's more or less like intuition or a gut feeling... so why do you even care?

u yes... use your intuition to find about theirs, and then avoid at all costs
don't follow your gut though... it will lead you to the spot where everyone else has followed their gut
Wouldn't it be consistent with your stated goal, to go research how best to avoid certain types of people as opposed to asking for our gut feelings and guesses on the matter?
