-'''Mind-reading''' is the process of attempting to figure out where a [[bad quizbowl]] question is going based solely on known aspects of the question writer. It differs from [[lateral thinking]] in that the player relies not on past factual knowledge or deductive thinking but rather from heuristics like "The only Romanian leader they ask about is Ceausescu" to buzz in after a question starts "This Romanian leader."

-Questions that reward mind-reading are the worst kind of [[speed check]]s in that they often punish players who might know about more about a subject (e.g. Romanian leaders other than Ceausescu).
