Apparently Mindless Character?

Trying to make a character that's mindless as far as the setting is concerned--doesn't show up with Detect (Minds), immune to Mind-Reading and Mind-Control, can't receive Telesend, etc.--but is still capable of acting intelligently, has an IQ score, and can use IQ-based skills.

As far as I can tell, the general build for apparent mindlessness like this is Indomitable, Injury Tolerance (No Brain), Unfazeable, and Immunity to Mind Control, but it's unclear to me if that last is sufficient to also make them immune to mind-detection, mind-reading, etc.

Is it? If not, what do I need to add to make this work?

(This is intended for an adventurer loosely based on a Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2 Jelly, or a slightly more alien Pyramid 3/72 Blob, not a robot, so Digital Mind with its clause of 'but you're susceptible to hackers' doesn't work)
