Insight is essentially an inherent mix of wisdom, perception, experience, foresight, and empathy. Where Intellect is brain smarts, Insight is street smarts.

Women are rumored to possess this in droves. Insight helps a character understand what others are feeling, call on their vast stores of knowledge, and trust their gut. During a game, this could help with determining another's true intentions. Insight is also used to apply practical experience, such as from an occupation.

A character with a poor Insight score is a naïve, inexperienced, gullible sap, and is the first in line for a fraud's snake oil. A character with a good Insight score is a fountainhead of wisdom, able to read others like books, and is always the first place friends go for advice.

Among Insightful people are numbered insurance investigators, bartenders, psychologists, a few good men, and your mom.
