I tend to test people sometimes, ranging from judging how well their judgement is, to testing their loyalties on other levels (I unintentionally pulled this during my high school reunion. Amazingly enough, for an outsider at school, I made alot of friends with much variety. From some of the most socially awkward people, to even a couple of the popular types. Then again, being a neutral made it easy to befriend any social caste.). Or at least, I used to do that. Not so much nowadays, since I already learned plenty from and about people to the point of understanding plenty of situations from various angles, and how they tend to interpret things, as well as other people's interpretations. I've been doing that for at least a decade, and have gotten sufficiently bored of it (I know enough to actually get bored, and view it as tedious.).
Interesting enough, thanks to all my researching of social psychology, I tend to surprise some people when crime dramas are on that involve infiltrations and such, and I can pinpoint a mastermind on the spot. Of course, when applying it 'on the field' in games like Space Station 13, I hold a greater difficulty with it, and just decide to go aloof, and not worry as much, and go with the flow. Speaking of which, testing in that environment, I'm amazed at how much drug use I can get away with on the station, even as CMO. Sometimes, it kinda makes me wonder why my guy is hired for the job. He's drunk and high half the time. I mean, latest rounds, he used a chemistry set to drink ethanol straight up to get hammered in a heartbeat, while being intoxicated with space drugs in concentrated doses. Mind you, he also does surgery under these conditions.
