Don't you think?

I was wondering the origin of the idiom, "Don't you think?" I know that it SHOULD be in the context of, "what were you thinking?", but we usually use it to mean, "do you agree?". Any comments would be nice, and much appreciated.

I've always assumed it was just an abbreviation of the much older "Don't you think so?" (VSD)
