I'm a bit confused why jisho.org marks the word 直感的 as a noun in a sentence
(直感的な人) while it's a Na-adjective in the dictionary. Based on the meaning and
translation (intuitive person) it's also supposed to be an adjective. Is there
a rule I don't know about or is it incorrectly marked as a noun?

grammar adjectives nouns
Is 直感的 a noun or adjective?
The adjective you asked about is formed from the noun 直感｛ちょっかん｝ in the
standard way of adding the 的{てき} suffix. Adjectives formed this way are all
な-adjectives.

In the example you give (直感的な人), indeed, it seems to figure as a な-adjective
qualifying 人.

You can also form an adverb from it in the standard way of adding に, as for
all な-adjectives. Take for instance this sentence (from Tatoeba):
直感的{ちょっかんてき｝には、基本的な意味の最小単位は単語です。

Most な-adjective can also be used as nouns. However with adjectives formed
using 的、usually you go back to the corresponding noun by simply removing 的.

For example: あなたは直感を信じないのですか？ "Do you believe in intuition?" There would be no
need to add 的 here.
