Intuition and perception both involve understanding or knowing something, but they differ in their source, type of knowledge, subjectivity, purpose, and scope. Intuition is often described as a gut feeling or inner voice, based on tacit or implicit knowledge, and used for decision-making or problem-solving in situations where there is limited information available.
