Insight is essentially an inherent mix of wisdom, perception, experience, foresight, and empathy. Where Intellect is brain smarts, Insight is street smarts.
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, dense, 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 person friends call for advice.
Among Insightful people are numbered bartenders, psychologists, and mothers.
