I'm not an investor but I would imagine the answer is in pattern matching. Investors who meet a ton of people inevitably will have longer relationships with some of them and find out in the end whether a founder has a "strong" or "weak" personality. I think it's reasonable to call this pattern matching a "gut feeling." Eventually, with more data points, I would assume the pattern matching becomes more nuanced and would be able to better distinguish who is faking and who isn't.
