Even Anakin had to be trained in the force.  So she would have to go through the same.

The mind trick was not what Ren was doing.  He was interrogating her.  Kind of like Vader did to Luke in RotJ when he realized that Luke had a sister.  That is reading the emotions of the person to get them to betray them. 

Now you could argue that the premise is the same, and that she may have heard of the mind trick and put 2 and 2 together, but again that is very poor writing.

I have heard that theory and if it is true then so what?  Just makes her that much more boring of a character.

It's the start of a trilogy. It's a little bit early to state this is poor writing. We'll have to wait a liitle.

I didn't think Rey was boring. I found she was very fresh and Daisy Ridley was very good.
