| Résumé : |
Intuition plays a vital role in successful R&D. Often the nonconforming technologist is the most intuitive, and this attribute helps in the technologist's innovative productivity. The author attributes the superior innovative productivity of certain individuals in his laboratories to their intuition. Colleagues in the same facility with similar domain experience, knowledge, education, motivation, and intelligence generally failed with comparable, difficult projects. Weston Agor's Aim Survey, which assesses the relationship of intuition to the successful performance of top managers, can be used to evaluate the role of intuition in the performance of R&D people. Subjective intuition scores of 18 of the author's long(time colleagues with Aim Survey scores were reasonably congruent. This survey thus appears to be a meaningful way to assess intuition potential of R&D personnel. |
