    Are your instincts usually spot on?

    Bit of an abstract one this, but I want to get an idea of how often your intuition and instincts are confirmed, and how often you get it completely wrong.

    I ask because I'm usually spot on in sussing out colleagues, client reps, whether an agent is lying (always - that one's easy), whether a client is going to extend, and even when trouble is round the corner with a reshuffle or acquisition.

    At the moment, I have a foreboding feeling about my extension/non-extension right now, and the client isn't giving anything away.

    My instincts tell me that foreboding means something bad?

      My instinct would be 'you're screwed'

        Well, I've been expecting you to post this all day, so pretty much spot on really.

          I once phoned a psychic helpline and they asked me to leave a message, my name and my number.

          Not much of a psychic obviously.

            Maybe you should test us all?

            Design a picture or something and let us get it? lets see who's the most psycic? (clearly not me, as it took me 5 minutes to work out how to spell it!)

              I once went to a clairevoyant after work but when I got there there was a sign on the door saying "Closed due to unforeseen circumstances".

              Bunch of frauds.

                    Hmm... another random assortment of answers.

                    Ok SA - seeing as I'm bored out of my skull, I have actually drawn a little picture. So what is it?
