Kouros Archaic Greece sculpture ideal form of human beauty at that time every kouros features nude and standing with his left foot forward.

The Getty’s Website:

Overview of the Story An art dealer promoted the sale of a Kouros to the museum. Two doubts : almost perfectly preserved light-covered glow The Getty moved cautiously, and took 14 months to investigate the authenticity. A geologist examined it by some scientific ways and claimed that it’s an ancient work.

Overview of the Story Opponents Based on … Federico Zeri Fingernails , “It didn’t look right” Evelyn Harrison A hunch Thomas Hoving “It was ‘fresh.’” Georgios Dontas “I felt as though there was a glass between me and the work.” “intuitive repulsion.” They have no scientific evidences but they were right. After a time, the kouros was proved as fake.

1.Fast & Frugal A gambling game with a trick to win How to find out the trick? How long will it take to figure out?

How? & How long? Conscious Fast & Frugal Two strategies: (a)conscious strategy (b)Fast & frugal Conscious Fast & Frugal traits most familiar Learning from experience Needs a lot of information Coming up with logical answers Developing a hunch Brains reach conclusions unconsciously Brains send messages via weirdly indirect channels (ex: sweat gland) they didn’t know why they knew. how long will it take? (in the experiment) Slower (after 80 cards) Faster (It started after 10cards) (a hunch after 50 cards )

2.The Internal Computer Adaptive Unconscious A kind of giant computer that quickly and quietly processes a lot of the data we need in order to keep functioning as human beings. Help us react in a sophisticated and efficient manner.

Three Tasks of Blink Decisions made very quickly can be as good as made cautiously and deliberately. When should we trust our instincts? When should we be wary of them? Snap judgments and first impressions can be educated and controlled.

3.A Different and Better World People pay too much attention to grand themes and too little to the fleeting moment. Will you believe the blink of an eye is as much value as months of rational analysis?

Intuition A flash to make decision Surprisingly right Proverb: There is no coincident in the world.

What is intuition? Product of learning, training and experience Intuition can be trained At many times, we have the answer already.

Make use of intuition Select useful information Training unconscious movement Don’t complicate things

What is first impression? Definition： This makes up your character and one should never try to be anyone else, but themselves. 20

Research on the first impression affecting the interview The experiment proves that some kinds of appearance and personality can capture a good first impression which really lets others favor in a fleeting moment. 21

How does the first impression effect? An old saying “you never get a second chance to make a first impression.” Depending on appearance, body language, posture…etc Be nearly impossible to reverse Funny first impression http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrWsok6FCMA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_svCRGWin8 22

How to make favorable first impression Be On Timing Appearance Smile 23

The Sixth Sense Five senses Extrasensory perception(ESP) Not completely proved Telepathy Clairvoyance Precognition

Telepathy Delivering or receiving messages by thoughts or feelings Between humans or animals A story between twins

Clairvoyance See far away things See through not transparent things Modern technology can also do it!

Precognition know what will happen in the future Not absolutely precise

conclusion Intuition? Science? Irrationality? An illusion?

Intuition? not a flash of mind Directs our thinking & what we do

Thank you for listening!
