What you describe might be defined in other contexts as "intuitive". If I were you, where I might place my attention would be on the area of accuracy. For example, if you perceive someone to be experiencing joy (which you can feel) how do you know if you're perceiving correctly? Is it possible that you're feeling "joy" and merely projecting that emotion upon them or are they experiencing "joy" and you're intuitively picking up on that?
