"We all tend to assume that others feel, think, and act like we do, and that we're representative, regardless of the circumstances and choices. That's almost never true,"
I'd say it's usually true; the average person thinks like the average person, on average. In extreme situations, no, but we're not talking extreme situations here. We are correct to assume that we think like other people like us, otherwise the world wouldn't work, driving would be difficult.
