That's a rather broad brush. Not everyone picks up on these things intuitively, and personality plays a big role.

As someone who did not pick up on these things intuitively, I can say two things about myself:

1. Something catastrophic happened to me as a child that prevented the normal development of this skill. 2. As an adult, I fixed the problem by paying attention and learning through concentrated effort.

My personality, at best, seems like a consequence of these events and decisions, not a cause.
