The N.I.T.I. Loop

... and next. You enter the N.I.T.I. loop: intuition plus analysis equals

mental spirals. It starts with a gut sense, a flash, a pattern,

a something is off, and you trust it because your intuition has saved you before. It's helped you

read people. It's helped you avoid disasters. It's helped you see what's coming

when everyone else is laughing and calling you too sensitive. You've been right

too many times to ignore it. So your intuition speaks, and then your analysis

shows up like a lawyer who doesn't trust witnesses. "Prove it," your logic says,

and you interrogate the feeling. You build a case. You gather evidence. You test hypotheses.
