Is there a way to see who liked, viewed or visited something I posted?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Your wordpress.com subscribers to
http://shermerblog.wordpress.com/
are found here
https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers
Note that the title there includes Publicize followers from social networks. https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/
Your email only subscribers are here https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers&type=email
Note that many of us keep our personal email addresses off the web as they are for family and friend use only. Instead, we register throwaway email addresses that do not personally identify us and use them for blogging purposes.
Our stats are not real time stats and take hours to update. There are frequent fluctuations that most do not notice because we aren’t watching the process. Instead, they wait for the next day to check their stats.
For details see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ and here Views and Visitors https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#views-and-visitors and do note that both the views and viewers and views by country https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#views-by-country take hours to update.
Our stats are page view stats. If I visit your blog and click into 10 posts that will be recorded as 1 visitor and 10 page views. But please do not assume that everyone who clicks a follow, like, share, reblog or comment link actually reads the post on your blog because odds are they may not.
Follow, like, share, reblog or comment clicks are not page views. In fact, follows, likes, shares, comments and reblogs are completely misleading when you are talking about page view stats.
Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com/Gravatar account who is logged into WordPress.com can “follow” your blog, “like”, “share” and “reblog” your posts and “comment” in several locations such as the Reader, without ever clicking into your blog and creating a single page view stat. Subscribers control how frequently they receive your posts (instantly, daily, weekly) and can comment without clicking into the blog.
Logged in visitors using a mobile can read the full post without creating a page view stat. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-reader-show-full-text?replies=31#post-1373606
You can control the length of the entry sent out on your RSS feed here Dashboard > Settings > Reading. Choose the “summary” setting for your RSS feed rather than to “full text”. That will compel followers who are not using mobiles to click into the blog to read the full post which will create a page view stat.
