This might be trivial, but in the most basic sense noticing where one has blind spots can be done by first noticing where one’s behavior differs from how he predicted he would behave, or what the people around him behave. If you thought some task was going to be easy and its not, or that you would get mixed results in predicting something and you don’t (even if you think you might be more accurate than average, what’s important here is the difference) you might be neglecting something important.
Its kind of similar to the way some expert AI systems try to notice blind spots: they “view” either demonstrations of proper behavior or just recordings of plenty of other agents (probably humans) performing the relevant tasks, and if there’s some difference from what they would do, it raises the probability of a blind spot in the model.
Once you find something like that, if you seem to rouse a strong emotional response in yourself when you ask yourself “why am I doing this differently?” that’s a non-negligible red flag for a blind spot, IMO.
