Intuition

You remember those heartbreaking scenes from the Titanic, either from books or movies, right? You know, the ones where the boat was sinking and there’s nothing anyone could have done about it? Well, it turns out that that story isn’t entirely true. At least according to a historian, and author of a book detailing events from the unlucky ship. If what he claims is true, every soul on the Titanic could have been saved! He wrote that the SS Californian and the SS Mount Temple were close enough to technically see the Titanic go down into the ocean, but they failed to act because they were afraid. Or because they too had no idea what they were doing.

“I’m calling the higher powers from another reality to show me your fate! Now look into this magic ball, and you’ll see it! Booooo!” an old lady wearing a strange costume says. “I’m sorry, but how does your precognition work? Is there any scientific approach? I just want to understand the algorithm,” you reply.“The algorithm is very simple, my boy... You give me 10 bucks. I’m telling you about your destiny,” the old fortune-teller answers. “But what about the scientific method?” “It’s magic! There’s no scientific method!” Actually, there is! Psychology professor Daryl Bem managed to prove that prediction is real. In 2011, he published a scientific article on this topic, but other scientists ridiculed him. They called the scientist’s work a disgrace and couldn’t believe that a reputable scientific journal had published it. But were those people right? Let’s try to find the truth!

Do you know that Leonardo da Vinci created a drawing of a mechanical robot in knight’s armor in 1495? According to the detailed plan, this knight could move and swing a sword thanks to an internal mechanical system consisting of ropes and gears. Whether Leonardo built this robot is unknown, but in 2002, one robotics engineer created this mechanical knight. And do you know what the first real robot looked like? It wasn’t a person in a cardboard robot suit. It was a real machine powered by electricity. It looked like a large box with an arm sticking out of it — like a smaller version of a crane. An inventor from Kentucky, George Devol, created it in the 1950s. He patented his invention and called it “Unimate.” The box with a mechanical arm was used in a TV show. The robot hit a golf ball into a cup, poured a drink into a mug, and impersonated a music band. People were delighted, but the invention didn’t bring George Devol money.

The human brain never fails to surprise us with its capacity for unexpected ideas or inventions, whether they turn out to be a stroke of genius or a complete disaster. For example, someone in this world thought that creating a onesie with mop-like material on the bottom, allowing a baby to clean the floor as they crawl around, was a good idea. This serves as a reminder that sometimes, our intuition can lead us down a path that defies all reason and logic.

You can tell a lot about someone’s character by their birthdate. So, listen up if you wanna find out something about yourself or your new crush.

No matter how excellent your survival skills are, there is always room for improvement. When things go downhill, it’s impossible to predict the outcome, but knowing how to act and what to do can save your life or someone else’s. And sometimes it’s the simple tricks that can help you weather through a challenging event without major consequences or avoid the possible accident altogether. So get ready to take some notes as we bring you a selection of the most useful tips shared by Internet users in this Reddit discussion.

While looking at old photos of celebrities, we can barely recognize future actors, singers, or models in those young faces. But now they have a lot of fans all over the world, and millions of boys and girls want to look like them.

An empath is a person who feels for those around them and often receives their emotions like their own. This is why people often turn to them for advice and compassion. However, not everyone who pays attention to others’ problems is an empath. There are some clear signs that can reveal if you are an empath or not, and some of them might truly surprise you.

One of the first things to disappear when we buy something is the instruction manual. For some reason, in that moment of joy of having a new object, the manufacturer’s advice does not seem important to us. This is a great way to train our intuition and be able to understand the things we find that come without any instructions...although our brain cannot always handle it all.

Solving riddles can be a true brain booster, as well as a brilliant way to train your mind and make you pay attention to the tiniest details. These riddles below look easy at first glance, yet they may be hard when examined more attentively. It’s totally up to your intuition whether you waste hours trying to solve them or find the correct answer in 5 minutes.

Beauty and intelligence are unrelated. But some people can unknowingly be influenced by the “halo effect,” a bias that lends good-looking people positive traits, like being smarter or more agreeable. However, appearance does have any meaning in terms of personality — it’s all in the face, morphologically speaking.

Intuition is that “gut” feeling, our inner voice that is way beyond logic. In most cases, it is what we stick to when we need to make a time-critical decision without having all the facts in front of us. But everyone has a different intuition and this test can show you how good your inner senses are.

Sometimes people can be completely and utterly unpredictable. We are all guided by impulses or by our intuition and we do things that, perhaps, we would not have done before. We need diversity of experience, adventures to explore, and to seek out and learn new things. Maybe that’s why, despite the uncertainty and fear of the unknown, there comes a time in our life when we all know we have to make sudden and unexpected changes.

Only 1/3 of murders that happen in the U.S. are solved and recent data shows that crimes are less likely to be cleared in the U.K. It looks like the world needs a master of observation, logical reasoning, and intuition: a Sherlock Holmes 2.0. Care to give it a try?

Studies have shown that different people may interpret what they see differently depending on their personalities. The eyes see everything, but the brain picks what’s most important to you first. In this particular test, you’ll see what’s actually most valuable to you.

First personality tests appeared in the 1920s. They were commonly used to make the process of personnel selection in the military forces simpler. Nowadays, there are plenty of such tests and their purposes differ from clinical psychology to relationship counseling.

Psychobiologist and Nobel Prize winner Roger W. Sperry found that the brain’s 2 hemispheres—left and right—function differently, and the way you think depends on which of the sides is dominant. Based on his research there are numerous tests that can determine your thought process and personality traits.

Have you ever noticed that there people who literally attract good luck and those who always get in trouble? Psychologist Richard Weseman thinks that good luck consists of 4 principles: an ability to trust your intuition, optimism, an ability to see things from different angles, and your inner balance. We’re guessing that the heroes of our article unfortunately don’t have any of these good luck indicators.

People often know more about others than they know about themselves. Psychological tests are an effective way to learn about oneself. Knowing about yourself and your personality will not only help you with your confidence but it will also alert you to situations where you might be vulnerable.

There are many things in the world that we still have no idea about —that’s especially true when it comes to the human psyche. For example, did you know that it’s better to buy new shoes when in a bad mood? We have collected 11 paradoxes just like this one that may surprise you.

You have probably wondered how things would be if you could read other people’s minds. Some people use their intuition for this, but if you are not so perceptive, there is only one choice left: learning to read people’s body language. It is a well-known fact that we get over 55% of information through nonverbal communication. Allan Pease, an Australian body language expert, wrote about this. Mimics, gestures, and other body movements can unmask a person and tell you what they really think or feel. Bright Side invites you to pay attention to the signals that other people send to us without even realizing it.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was created during World War II to help women get jobs and replace the men who had left to fight. After answering several questions, they got a short report, according to which they could find the most effective work. Some Western companies still use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator when selecting candidates for their vacancies. Bright Side created a short version of this test with only 4 questions and 2 answer options to each. That’s it! The combination of letters will tell you about your personality type.

Statistics say we live in the calmest of times in the history of mankind. However, the world is still a dangerous place.
