Intuitive Ability
A challenge for BD archivists is the amount of information available. Studies have found
that when too much information is available there is a tendency to paralyze the decision maker,
particularly if they have a propensity to take a rational approach, the more options available
the higher the likelihood of ‘paralysis through analysis’ (Eisenhardt and Zbaracki 1992).
According to Miller and Ireland (2005), rapid decision making may be the only possible
approach when resources such as time and funds for decision support are constrained.
The important conclusion here is that intuitive perception of future events are related
to the degree of emotional significance of that event (Bradley 2006).Therefore, passionate
intentional interest may be a significant factor in the intuitive capacity of BD archivists, which
provides a role for the heart in responding to intuitive archival information.
We have seen therefore that the credibility of conclusions based on probabilities and
analogies does not depend solely on logic; it also depends on non-formal judgments (Intuitive).
Estimations of significance and judgments are essential when shaping a conception of the value
of information today.
