I just don't understand how you could tell in person if someone is a sensor or intuitive without knowing them too well.

What's the REAL way to know?
Typing people one doesn't know well is bound to be a seriously flawed endeavor. Type is based on cognitive preferences and we are not privy to the mental life of people we don't know well. The best way to type someone is to involve that person in the process and get feedback about which aspects of your typing are accurate.
 
I'm not talking about strangers, but people you speak to on a regular basis.

When you type these people, how do you decide if they're a sensor or intuitive or not?
I don't, but comparing someone's behavior to banks of sensor and intuitive behavior one has built up and ignoring or ruling out other explanations can give a person an idea. Assumptions and stereotypes, basically.
