intuitive diagnosis (intuitive diagnostics)

Form of clairvoyant diagnosis that purportedly rests on "accurate intuition." The ostensible diagnostics of Edgar Cayce (see "The Cayce Approach to Health and Healing") exemplifies intuitive diagnosis. Its apparent postulate is that the conscious ignores "signals" surrounding humans, but that such "information" is obtainable if one's mind functions as a "super-receiver."
