So I’m working on a game and one of the things I want to be significant is whether the main character is someone who trusts their instincts a lot or not. This would come into play not just with whether or not the character knows something, but how the character might try to convince others that they are right.
I would like to handle this as an opposed pair, but I can’t think of a good name for the opposite of this “gut instinct” stat. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone. Right now I’m leaning towards either Deliberation or Reasoning vs. Intuition, although if I find later on that neither of them seems right, I’ll come back here and try something else.
The trouble I would have with what you chose is this: Intuition involves its own reasoning and its own deliberation. You just can’t verbalize the exact reasoning process and the deliberations are unconscious.
That would be my feedback if I saw those as your opposing stats.
