Question

Fifteen-year-old Richard wants to be allowed to drive the family car, even though he does not yet have a driver's license.

In psychology, there are many types of thinking. One of the main types of thinking is the intuitive thinking.

Intuitive thinking has the characteristic that is not rational and it comes from our "gut", it gives non logical explanations to an event without any further analysis.

In this example, Richard is 15 years old and wants to drive the family car even though he doesn't have a driver's licence. He thinks he should because he knows other kids who do it and he doesn't want to wait 3 months until he turns 16. We can see that he is showing a non rational thinking and his answer/thinking is not showing a deep analysis of the situation. Thus, this is an example of intuitive thinking.
