I think what is more cold and fake is thinking you can grasp a person on the spot and pass judgment
I mean, I see value in it, I'm not going to soapbox on how this sort of insight is inferior or something. I don't don't agree with this being tied to intelligence, because that's saying
is inherently intelligent, and, well, there's a lot to argue that. The intelligence comes in the understanding and application of the information you are observing, not what you observe per se. You can have a very unique but unintelligent observation.
But as I think about it, I think this is an
behavior, mostly looking at some comparisons with
-egos. I was questioning it at first because I believe myself to have this ability, but as this discussion shows, I don't necessarily put as much weight into it as others. Which would fit, for convenience's sake.
