Guess (disambiguation)
Guessing
A
guess (or an act of
guessing) is a swift conclusion drawn from data directly at hand, and held as probable or tentative, while the person making the guess (the
guesser) admittedly lacks material for a greater degree of certainty. A guess is also an unstable answer, as it is "always putative, fallible, open to further revision and interpretation, and validated against the horizon of possible meanings by showing that one interpretation is more probable than another in light of what we already know". In many of its uses, "the meaning of guessing is assumed as implicitly understood", and the term is therefore often used without being meticulously defined. Guessing may combine elements of
deduction,
induction,
abduction, and the purely
random selection of one choice from a set of options. Guessing may also involve the
intuition of the guesser, who may have a "
gut feeling" about which answer is correct without necessarily being able to articulate a reason for having this feeling.
