I think reading between the lines and our alleged inability to do that often goes a lot further than just interpreting metaphor. I am very good at interpreting metaphor. But I have difficulty reading between the lines when it comes to people's behavior. I take what people say as the honest truth, and this has gotten me into trouble in the past.
I think that NTs have the ability to determine all sorts of things about a person just by the manner or expression that people use and this is where I often fail to see the hidden meanings.
I agree with you totally on this one. I'm good with words, it's the thinking behind the words (i.e. the motives of people) that I have a real job to understand.
