Female intuition08 April 2005
Does it exist?

As part of the Edinburgh Science Festival, a research study is asking people to look at pictures of smiles, and to decide whether they are genuine or not. Psychologist Richard Wiseman is collating the results and looking at our levels of intuition.

One trend he expects to find is that women have greater intuitive powers than men. 

Martha looks at whether female intuition really exists, with anthropologist Dr Kit Davies of The School of Oriental and African Studies.
