INTENSIVE
A specific number of hours of auditing given to a preclear over a short period of time, as a series of successive sessions at regularly scheduled intervals. Intensives are measured in increments of 12.5 hours per policy. Twenty-five hours of auditing administered over a five- day period or occupying ten evenings would be examples of intensives.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
A preclear receiving an intensive would be scheduled for 12.5 or 25 hours of auditing delivered over a concentrated period — such as five consecutive days — rather than scattered single sessions.
Why It Matters
Intensives allow sustained auditing momentum, which produces better results than infrequent sessions. The concentrated delivery over a short time period keeps the preclear progressing steadily through the material being addressed.
