Instinctual

Instinctive and instinctual are both adverbs, so guess it depends on how you plan to use it.

Depends on your variety of English. 'Instinctual' sounds decidely unnatural to an English English ear. 'Instinctive' is the more original form. Technically they should have slightly different nuances of meaning. 'Instinctual' might be used to refer to matters pertaining to instinct, whereas "Instictive" would be more stricty applied to acts arising from instinct. In practice, the two are just interchangable. If both are in common use, then either is applicable. But I know which I would use, intuitually.
