Intuition is not a sense. It is an unchecked and reflexive assumption made based on the structures of cognition that are shaped in interaction with the environment. We are both hard-wired therefore with some sense of intuition, but our cognitive evolution develops that intuition through our life span as experience interacts with the environment. When we analyze our intuitions, they become part of our own meta-cognitive processes called consciousness. Until that point, they are unconscious judgments we make and nothing more. Thus the effect of an intuition (the feeling that "something is wrong here") is more apparent than that which caused it (the movement of an unconscious judgment).
