Are Guts Always Right?

Gut feelings are physical manifestations of our intuition—but they're not always accurate. With patience and practice, as your spiritual life gets deeper, you'll be better able to tell when you're receiving a gut feeling that should be trusted.

What percent of the time is your gut right?

You'll be right 90% of the time. For centuries scientists have studied how both instinct and intellect figure into the decision-making process. A new study has shown that forced to choose between two options based on instinct alone, participants made the right call up to 90 percent of the time.

Is it always right to trust your gut?

The old saying “trust you gut” refers to trusting these feelings of intuition, often as a way to stay true to yourself. Following your instinct can certainly direct you toward the best path for you.
