Instinct is our inborn impulse, a biological imperative that propels us to react for survival. On the flip side, intuition is our internal guide, shaped by experience and often operating just beneath the radar of our conscious mind, whispering paths forward in moments of uncertainty.

Yet, instinct often relates to an automatic response to external stimuli, while intuition draws from a pool of inner wisdom and cognitive process. The instinctive reactions are our ancient times' automatic responses, while intuitive insight requires much thought and draws upon our accumulated personal experience.

In short, intuition is a divine, finer knowledge of mankind that has both instinct and the ability to foretell future outcomes or identify a person’s true character, whereas instinct is a natural, earthly raw knowledge limited to the changes affecting our natural environment/surroundings.

Humans have unique abilities called instinct and intuition. Instinct is a natural response to stimuli. Intuition is when you just know something without having to think about it. Instinctual behavior is automatic and not learned. Whereas intuition relies on gut feelings. Both instinct and intuition are vital for decision-making and survival.

Instinct is innate. Instincts are the gut feelings that are often described as a sixth sense. Intuition comes from experience making decisions, learning from your own experiences and those of others, and eventually developing a feel for the best way to approach new problems in a familiar domain. Better intuition leads to better decision making.
