Thought something similar, and then I noticed that I met most the people recently through board-game nights, which makes it rather easy to observe these traits first hand. This now makes me wonder to which degree you can deliberately optimize for this by sneakily throwing verbal Puzzles (Did they get the joke?) at people, with or without taking social hit points. My guess would be that it would be hard to Tell apart Motivation (your joke wasn’t funny (to them) to begin with).
