I'm thinking too of the everyday mindreading. "I know what you're thinking".* Or when people sit around trying to discern someone's intent based upon their body language, the look on their face, the intonation of the voice, etc. It took me a lot of years to understand why I fared so poorly on school tests that asked, "WHAT IS THE AUTHOR'S INTENT?" when I scored so well on everything else. There's a whole school of thought about this 'thing' called "mindblindness".* And.. it's wrong. Everybody's mindblind.* But some people are predictable.* The reason I did poorly on those questions is it asked me to predict a stereotypical reason why an author would say such-and-such a thing.* Well, I don't think in stereotypes. Took 30 years to realize the problem wasn't "me".* I really thought it was me.* It's not.
