Let's also try the converse problem: what cues tip you off, in real life, that you are actually thinking, and that there is actually something you're trying to figure out? Please stick such cues under this comment.
Cure of not rationalizing: I feel confident that I'm not rationalizing. If I feel uncertain about whether or not I'm rationalizing then it can go either way and it's a sign I should be on guard, but if I don't feel any note of self-deception then that's normally pretty strong evidence that I'm not rationalizing. I'm not sure if this would be true for others; I've definitely seen people who claimed they felt that they were not rationalizing blatantly rationalizing.
