Portrait of an Intuitor
There was never a time in my life where I didnt yearn to be older. My parents had an unconventional way of raising me. When I was three years old, my parents told me that Santa Claus and all the other urban legends I believed in were, figments of my imagination.

They may seem self-centered, but most of the time, they want to motivate others to achieve the best they can. Intuitiors can also be very objective and straightforward when put into a situation when needed to be. Intuitors have many talents causing them to be very indecisive when it comes to making definite choices. Intuitors are people who, underneath it all, are Sensors, Feelers, and Thinkers. Though their personality is not complete in any of these areas, they possess what ultimately everyone wants to possess, Inspiration.
