I've studied the work of Milton Erickson pretty extensively from what I can tell. Something that I have always found interesting was people's assertions at how although he didn't claim to be psychic that sometimes he sure seemed like it.
All throughout the field of NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis there seems to be a premium placed on developing what would be referred to as 'Advanced Calibration Skills'. There are even a couple courses that claim to teach these skills. Never having been on any of them I can not comment to how worth while they are.
I have seen demonstrations of detecting VAK accessing cues from NLP, a few demonstrations of detecting Submodalities and Meta-Programs, and I have always found them interesting (but never terribly pragmatic during the course of a regular conversation).
Lately I have been focusing Micro-Expressions and Subtle-Expressions. If anyone is interested at www.humintell.com there is actually a training program that you subscribe to that allows you from the comfort of your home develop your skills in reading them.
The work of Joe Navarro, I have found very fascinating as well as useful and I would recommend it to anyone.
As of late I have been looking into Cold Reading... I'm convinced that some of Milton Erickson's advanced calibration skills can be attributed to an ability to cold read people. I don't know that he was doing it purposefully as such but I do think that it is an interesting by product of his natural ability to speak to people in such 'artfully vague' terms as has been described.
I would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in working with people in any fashion to learn how to do cold reading.
