This is true. I'll have to think on it.

...and depending on how much information the GM gives out as 'feel' for people, Psychology to analyze people might be rolled seldom, if at all.

Personally, Psychology would always be helpful. The 'feeling' I'd give out would be of a very shallow nature, along the lines of "You get the feeling Sir Honorbound is very wrapped up in keeping his word" but never mention his Bad Temper, PTSD, or mild Gambling habits... all things a well versed Psychologist could use to twist Sir Honorbound up in knots.

Personally, I've never seen Fortune-Telling rolled by a PC and I wouldn't consider a relative +2 to it remotely worth it for Empathy at 15 points vs. Automatic Success Sensitivity at 13 points.

I've both seen and used Fortune-Telling in games. Both in con artistry and ye olde "Let me consult the cards to figure out what to do next".
