Received wisdom says to look at all checks, captures and threats.

Of those "threats" is a bit imprecise. But it gives some sort of idea of what is required.

I tend also routinely to ask myself which squares my opponent's latest move strengthens and which it weakens (particularly if it is a pawn move) plus I ask myself what my opponent's intention may be by his or her move - especially if the move surprised me.

Besides, analyze is a feature that is easily visible, unless you spend all of your time in the chat box.
