Having known people like this, I think it moves beyond instinct. They definitely have a more finely-tuned inborn sense of themselves and other people, for sure.

Having known people like this, I think it moves beyond instinct. They definitely have a more finely-tuned inborn sense of themselves and other people, for sure. But they also have developed a calculated and astute sense for what part of themselves to present to people provoke a particular emotional or behavioral response, and also the courage to present those parts (in Prince's case, occasionally quite literally and physically) when need be.
