Tell her "Try guessing" and give her a hint. This will make her hamster spin and she'll either guess correctly or not. From there on you can easily divert the conversation to make her qualify to you, or even tease her. Here are some examples that come to mind:
- if she guesses correctly:
"...you're right, I do work in IT. It's funny that you guessed correctly, because you don't strike me as someone who can easily read other people."
- if she guesses correctly and she's open to being teased, and you're good at being cocky/funny:
"...you're right. How did you know? You're not stalking me, are you?" if she accepts the tease, laughs and says no, continue with something like "That's good, because I can definitely imagine you sitting in a white van at the end of my street, eating doughnuts and monitoring my every move."
- if she fails to guess correctly:
"...nope, wrong, I work in IT. It's funny that you didn't guess, because you strike me as someone who can easily read other people."
Field tested this twice today, good stuff.
