CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?

It estimates the tendency to rely on intuitive judgments in a way that repeatedly leads to unfavorable outcomes. The focus is on a consistent inverse effect, not a simple lack of intuition.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Completion typically takes about 3 minutes. The questionnaire contains 11 items.

How should responses be selected?

Choose the option that best matches typical behavior across situations, not a single recent event. Respond quickly and avoid overthinking.

How are results interpreted?

Scores reflect the relative strength of the reverse-intuition pattern. Higher scores indicate a stronger tendency for intuitive choices to be counterproductive.

What are appropriate uses and limits of the results?

Results may support coaching, decision-making review, or psychological screening. They are not a diagnosis and should be considered alongside other information.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Reverse Intuition Level Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

intuition

This self-report measure is designed to evaluate individual differences in a tendency to rely on intuitions that may be perceived as counterproductive or systematically inaccurate. The Reverse Intuition Level Questionnaire provides a brief screening of this construct for use in clinical or coaching contexts. Originally attributed to S. Epstein.

The instrument contains 11 items and takes about 3 minutes to complete. Scores are intended to support discussion of decision-making style and to guide further assessment rather than serve as a stand-alone diagnostic indicator. In practice, results from the Reverse Intuition Level Questionnaire may be integrated with clinical interview data and other measures to clarify perceived patterns of intuition use and inform intervention planning.
