Arr you looking for a one-word equivalent to "have a knee-jerk reaction"? That idiom may be so common because one word to cover it isn't in the common vernacular. At least, that's my quick take on it.

It could be "instinct", and another phrase is "gut reaction" although neither is a verb.

My first impression is that you need to clarify the question. Could be "impression", "snap judgement", "thumb suck", et al, but each carries a different nuance, and you've given us no idea as to what nuance you want to convey.

Best thing I can think of for this is intuit:
Intuit (v)
to know, sense, or understand by intuition
Used something like this:
Johnny intuited that the apple would be delicious from it's perfect appearance. Unfortunately, it tasted like cardboard.

That's to surmise. When one relies only on a cursory impression the evidence is neither strong nor certain, even if the judgment or inference turns out to be correct.
But, as a native speaker, I expect this sense of surmise is likely to be misunderstood. I'd prefer a phrase, such as draw a conclusion offhand.
