The IQ2, the Intuition Quotient Test, seeks to measure the capacity or innate ability of what I think will turn out to be the oldest and greatest part of human intelligence: our intuition.

If you progress to the ONLINE HEALING COURSE, I can give you a dozen reasons why this article is freaky, weird and ominous.
