intuitives
Those sensing directly
Intuitives are people who rely primarily on intuition rather than sensory data or logical analysis.
The term appears most often in personality typing systems like Myers-Briggs, where intuitives focus on patterns, possibilities, and abstract meaning rather than concrete details: Intuitives tend to see the big picture while missing what's right in front of them.
In spiritual contexts, intuitives claim heightened ability to perceive things beyond ordinary awareness.
