Word intuition that comes from Latin intuition is described in dictionaries as follows: feeling; clear perception that to be seized by the spirit, do not require reasoning. This meaning is also very well described in FERREIRA’s dictionary (1986) as "immediate knowledge, which is independent of reasoning." To better understand the intuitive method is appropriate that the discursive method is presented; where knowledge comes to an end proposed by a series of successive efforts in order to fix and discuss ideas, statements and theses to obtain the desired concept. Intuition is exactly the opposite, that is, goes straight to the object, is the immediate knowledge which, in a single act of spirit suddenly pounces on the object and captures, in a process analogous to a vision or contemplation. The history of scientific discoveries shows that, although the reason has been used to organize, develop, and test ideas, many of them had an intuition dose at the beginning of the creative process. Some authors claim that intuition is prevalent in creativity, because, reason has no creative ability. In this sense, this study points to some traditional examples where it is verified the mentioned fact.
