Structural diversity of intuition: factor analysis of the rational-experiential inventory
Keywords:
intuition, classification of intuition, structural differences, heuristic intuition, affective intuition, classical (holistic) intuition
Abstract
Introduction: In Russia, there is no tradition of classifying the structural diversity of intuition depending on the nature of incoming information. Therefore, such work may contribute to the systematization of knowledge about intuition in Russian psychological science. Aims: this study aimed to investigate the structural diversity of intuition among Russian-speaking participants by adapting and applying Western frameworks to the Russian-language context. Materials and methods: Following J.E. Pretz and K.S. Totz, a factor analysis (IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0) of the Rational-Experiential Inventory from 210 Russian-speaking individuals was conducted, employing Principal Axis Factoring with Promax rotation. Results: Our results revealed four latent factors, two of which were unrelated to the questionnaire’s scales. These factors indicate structurally distinct forms of intuition differing in the breadth of incoming information. Conclusion: This study contributes to further research into intuition being a starting point for creating new questionnaires for the structure of intuition and its forms.
