I think that is nonsense Paul , some of the people I instinctively disliked including my husband turned to be the loveliest people and some of the 'nice ' people turned out to be untrustworthy rotters
I think 'instinct' in the context of many things is nonsense too...

Social norms force us to ignore basic gut feelings and accept that the man in the suit or the doctor is a 'good type' even if our instinct screams at us that the person isnt what they seem.
We should trust ourselves more.
