Is "to my distinct" correct?

eg: It's not correct to my distinct.

What do you want to say?
"distinct" is an adjective, doesn't quite work in there.

Oh, it is not "distinct", but "instinct", sorry for the typo.

You still aren't saying what do you want to express/say.

"based on my instinct/relying on my instinct" might be a combination

Stick out tongue [:P]Sorry, the sentence is "I think he is right about this, to/by my instinct" (are both ok?)

The sentence may be like "I have a gut feeling that he is right about this".

The idiomatic expression I think you're reaching for is  My instinct tells me (that) he's right about this.
Also, my instincts tell me ...
