Why are some fortune tellers surprisingly accurate?

Fortune tellers are often good at observing people's psychology and know how to use it to achieve their goals. They often ask fortune tellers some ambiguous questions to guide people to speculate and imagine in their own direction.

For example, fortune tellers will ask, "Is there a big tree in front of your house?" If there is, you will think that he really knows how to pinch and calculate; If not, he will solemnly say, "Oh, nothing is the best." As if he wished there were no trees, and so on. The fortune teller need not say anything, I have already associated a lot.

Extended data

Psychologists believe that everyone has a "self-verification" mentality. When a hint is given, a series of contents related to the hint will immediately emerge in the brain. Fortune tellers actually use this "self-verification" psychology to lead people into their own "traps".

Therefore, when you hear the fortune teller say that you are "predestined friends with water", you can't help but find out all your experiences or things related to water to prove that you are really related to water, and even think of what happened to your leg cramp when you were swimming.
