Marilyn vos Savant, who is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records Hall of Fame for "Highest IQ" has a regular column in the Parade Magazine supplement to the Sunday newspaper. In the December 7th issue she was asked why she "always answers questions based on logic." The question further asked, "Do you believe that intuition, emotion, and other ways of making decisions are as valid as logic?"

Marilyn replied, "Good logic always takes emotion into account as an important factor, so our feelings are never neglected. But intuition-the sensation of knowing without the use of reasoning-is as lightweight as a first impression, and I wouldn't use it to make a decision unless I had no other information at all."
