We are very inhibited by different processes in the brain from making certain types of assumptions.

Exactly. I need to see multiple examples of a behavior, so I can collect lots of information about it and look for a pattern before I feel like it might be safe to make an assumption. And even then, I still probably wouldn't take action on a mere assumption.
That's what has always frustrated me the most about NTs, is that they make all kinds of assumptions without taking the time to find out what is actually happening.
I believe that their conclusions (assumptions) are the product of very high speed quantum type computation all done in the subconscious and bubbling up into the conscious thought as intuition.
The decisions are based on probabilities and more than not based on imaginary conditionals.
They are not accurate all of the time, but they are lightning quick.
