Intuition is a habit.

Human by default is lazy and tends to be intuitive because being intuitive is easy. Over a period of time intuition becomes second nature and the children do it all the time without realizing the trap. It has been established now that intuition in a field in which one is not trained is flawed and result of intuition in that field is just like the result of flipping an unloaded coin.
One way to get rid of intuition is to realize that this is a habit and one has to train oneself out of this habit. Teachers ought to teach by questioning and then point out the flaws of intuition on every wrong answer.
However if one can train oneself in a particular field or skill by continuous and arduous practice for six hours a day for 6 years, then intuition in that particular field or skill  gets highly developed and yields the best results.
