Mark Quirk has described the development of both metacognition and intuition in his book:http://books.google.com/books?id=sQ1w92YAoFUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=metacognition+intuition+medical&source=bl&ots=byf-cTo832&sig=xF2F0KEgujBulubTeaKp3PCOfgg&hl=en&ei=JQq2TN-zOpCmnQf59o1q&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CCAQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false

We tend to forget that intuition is a developed skill.

 I know that's how I've always worked.  I look at a system (people,
processes, technology) and I understand it - I don't diagram it, I don't
analyze it, I just find out about it and out pops how it works (and how it
will react to stimuli).  That helps a lot when figuring out how to stimulate
the system into failure or into doing what I want it to do (not necessarily
what the owners want it to do).
