神祕第六感:相信感觉的人能够预测未来  

It's impossible to know the future. We can guess
but no one has actual knowledge of what's going to happen down the road.
But if you're someone who trusts her feelings
you're more likely to accurately predict future events than people who don't trust their feelings as much.
That's the conclusion of a recent study done by researchers at Columbia Business School.
上述结论是哥伦比亚商学院(微博)研究人员最近的研究结果。
Through a series of eight studies they found that subjects who had a high amount of trust in their feelings were generally better able to predict things like the outes of presidential elections
football games
the winner of American Idol
and even the weather.
How is this possible
you ask?
The best explanation is known as the "privileged window" hypothesis. The gist is that when we rely on feelings to make a prediction
we're really summarizing and calling on everything we know about the subject in question. It's similar to what journalist Malcolm Gladwell wrote about in his best selling book "Blink" that the more we know about something the greater our ability to make snap judgments and predictions without thinking too much.
Unlike Gladwell's theory
though
the recent study is less about snap decisions and more about consciously deciding to rely on feelings to make predictions. Do that
and you're more likely to be able to sense what may happen in the future.
但是，与Malcolm Gladwell的理论所不同的是，这项研究对于迅速决策涉及较少，更多的是关于依靠感觉，有意识地作出预测。凭感觉预测吧，你将更可能知晓未来。
