Yes, they are pratyaksha, aparoksha for the one who has them and paroksha,
anumeya, for others (others, from the body language, etc. of X infer these
in him)

Here is a Vivekachudamani verse:
बन्धो मोक्षस्य तृप्तिश्च चिन्तारोग्यक्षुधादयः ।
स्वेनैव वेद्या यज्ज्ञानं परेषामानुमानिकम् ॥ ४७६ ॥
475. Bondage, liberation, satisfaction, anxiety, recovery from illness,
hunger and other such things are known only to the man concerned, and
knowledge of these to others is a mere inference.
