Our Real Work: Jess Ryan, MS

Coaching and consulting. Something's calling. It's your life.

The Intuition Indicator – Reveal Your Intuition Style

When making an important decision you:

Google it then weigh all the pros and cons
Feel really anxious
Choose something and do it. Immediately.
Pray about it
Consult with your friends and family. They know best.

In your free time you prefer to:

Read non-fiction books
Go for a hike
Journal
Meditate
Spend time with a friend

A woman moved into your neighborhood two weeks ago. You pass her on the sidewalk everyday, but she hasn’t said hello or introduced herself. You:

Trust she’ll say hello when she’s ready and give a little nod.
You run up, shake her hand, and introduce yourself.
Sense she could be tired from the move and so you give her a sympathetic smile, say welcome to the neighborhood, and let her know you are her neighbor.
Feel kind of hurt that she hasn’t made an attempt to connect with a simple hello.
Think it’s rude that she hasn’t said hello and you start to observe how she interacts with other people in the neighborhood.

You’re organizing a holiday party and need to find a venue. You:

Remember a place where your friends had an amazing party last year and start there.
Get on the internet, research the amenities, prices, and availability, and book it if it meets your criteria.
Send an intention out to the universe to help you find the right place at the right price before you do any research.
Visit a couple places in-person to get a feel for whether it would be the right place for your party.
Get really stressed out about choosing the right place. There are so many people expecting a lot from you. You make sure to ask everyone’s advice.

You are interviewing a babysitter and she seems great on paper, but you’re not sure you trust her answers. You:

Finish the interview and then scan all social media and search her on the internet to see what comes up.
Get really upset that you are never going to find the right sitter for your kids.
Finish interviewing all the babysitters and ask the Universe for a clear sign on who to hire.
Cross her off the list. You trust your gut and it’s always right.
Probably won’t hire her, but you don’t want to hurt her feelings so you tell her you’ll keep her as a back-up

At a social gathering you predominantly:

Shake hands and hug people
Feel exhausted because you can sense what everyone is feeling
Determine it was a good event if you feel happy about it the next day
Like to learn what people do and network
Like to connect with people on a deep level and learn about their interests and passions

You’re about to attend a family reunion where you don’t always feel like you can be yourself. The day before the event you come down with a sore throat and laryngitis. You:

Figure something’s going around and you must have caught it
Think this is a sign from the Universe that you shouldn’t go
Get really frustrated because this is making your trip harder (EMO)
Believe there’s a real link between losing your voice and not being able to express yourself...even if you don’t know what to do about it
Go anyway, even though you don’t feel well because you don’t want to have to deal with the guilt trips if you don’t go.

You would choose your ideal partner based on:

Physical attraction
Someone who understands your sensitivity
Someone who has a deep understanding of self and their spirituality
How you feel around them
Financial and family stability

You hate your job right now. You:

Pray and ask for guidance on what to do
Realize it’s not the job. It’s how terrible you feel when you are around your co-workers.
Think of a list of pros and cons to quitting your job, start squirreling money away, and sending out resumes.
Take up running. You can’t quit your job and you have to burn off stress somehow.
Realize you are angry and that your anger is indicating someone at work is violating your boundaries. You spend a little time trying to figure out why you are so mad and what you can do about it.

The last time you had to make a choice about something important you made the final decision based on:

A physical feeling in your gut
A message you received (in a dream or a moment of quiet)
An emotion
The facts
How it impacted everyone else

I’m guessing you need to choose one of the options offered before you can move to the next question? The options listed for the first question didn’t include how I make important decisions, which would be: check in with my body and I usually get a clear answer pretty quickly. If not, when feeling calm/receptive, I just come back to the question and my body till I do.
