Intuition is abstract perception of the world through holistic images and fantasy pictures. In the School of Humanitarian Socionics, there are two types of general intuitive function: the opportunity intuition (I) — guesses, discoveries, abilities — and the temporal intuition (T) — variability, inconsistency, mystical fantasies.〔中略〕extraverted intuition; function of the psyche reflected in high-risk and non-standard behavior.

In the intellectual frame of analysis, intuition I is the extraction of information from the subconscious. The subconscious pantry of information of a person by volume is equal to the external world; therefore, the opportunity intuition is the most intellectual of the functions of thinking.〔中略〕Technologically intuitive state I is an operation with visual images. Vague pictures, extracted from the subconscious, are synthesized into a sophisticated complex, which, getting denser, lights up at some moment with a bright flash of light — an intuitive guess.

If in I-state a person extracts knowledge from within himself, from his subconscious layers of the psyche, then in T-state information comes from outside — from the cosmos.

If the person can sustain state I for a long time, then in society he will take the role of an intellectual leader: a generator of ideas. I-type shows increased intellectual activity and aspires to new and complex tasks. The generator of ideas doesn’t cope well with standard, routine operations. He gives all of his energy to getting rid of them through inventing new approaches. A person in state I does not care much about people’s opinion on his proposals and projects. Through making discoveries, he satisfies his cognitive curiosity.

Psychologically, in the state I the person experiences feelings connected with immersion into himself: external detachment with strong inner concentration.〔中略〕The first stage of the intuitive process is accompanied by a painful sense of dissatisfaction: a person feels unsettled and out of sorts while bearing the idea. The idea seems to be maturing in itself, but in this slow process it is necessary to intervene so that the images can come out of the subconscious. Then the intellectual tension in one abrupt step gives way to relief and joy as the idea is finally born.

I. Command Function +1 — Opportunity Intuition He is strong in seeing the promise of new ideas and projects. He is interested in all in the world in the hope of finding something unique, but he quickly abandons ideas that turn out to be unpromising and switches to something new. He has a variety of interests. Often, his hobbies are not related to his main job. He strives to collect all the discoveries and innovations on the issue of interest to him while generating bold, alternative ideas on any issue that only he has to face. Routine and tradition are intolerable. If he is forced to do a job or project that does not involve him, he will give it a completely new turn. He is able to offer a large variety of applications to inventions or discoveries. He is persistent and expansive in the dissemination of his own developments. To ignite an idea, he must make it "his."
