Ask him
Jesuits tend to be very public about their affiliation
If a guy has "SJ" after his name,he's a Jesuit.

All I can say is that, once you have experience, you can generally tell a "Jesuitical" style of argument. It's hard to describe, but I know it when I see it. Unfortunately, it's also common to people educated by Jesuits, so it isn't a clincher.
However, Jesuits do tend to be quite humorless about the claimed authority of the Pope of Rome.

I generally ask him: "Hey, are you S.J.?"
Or, I can generally tell from his cassock...it's more of a "double-breasted" cut with a cincture that hangs down and to the right side, as opposed to the standard issue one that has buttons down the front.

Look for the initials S.J. after their name.
