For me intuitive means how long does it take for the user to obtain
the "I Get It" sensation. Depending on the medium that the user is
working in the amount of time could be very short, or slightly
pro-longed.

What I mean is, if you stumble across a website as an everyday web
user and you don't get the "I Get It" feeling within a minute or
so (if even that) then you are likely to look elsewhere. If you are
using an application that you must use to accomplish a task at work,
your more willing to spend some time trying to decipher what your
trying to use. 

Getting the "I Get It" sensation gives you a sense of
accomplishment and to a lesser extent joy. So if you never get to
this point of realization as a user, chances are what you are
experiencing is not very intuitive.
