How to become a human lie detector
Baseline: First establish a person’s baseline.
First contact: Focus on the first 3-5 seconds after you confront them.
Indirect answers: A guilty person will not directly answer you. Instead, they will mention wonderful things they have done (volunteer, eagle scout, helped the homeless, etc.). They will also avoid answering the question straight out. “Did you eat my lunch in the fridge?” “Why would I eat your lunch? I didn’t even know there was anyone’s lunch in there.” Redirect back and try to get a solid yes or no. This will be the truth.
Religion: They mention religion. They might use religious language too, such as, “I swear on a stack of Bibles”, or “Honest to God...”
The chair: Put the person in a chair with wheels to see what questions make them squeamish.
Body language: Watch the feet. Guilty people point to where they want to go. People freeze. Their arms will not move. They don’t want to attract attention!!! Freezing might only last a few seconds too, such as being silent, even to a simple question, then appearing to be in shock. Headshake: if words come first, then the head shake, they are lying. Or, if they say “no” but their head shakes “yes”.
Personal space: - They won’t touch you and won’t want you touching them (or spouses).
Eyes: If they stare too hard at you. Unless they are shy, they will avoid eye contact. Eyes going to the corner (right upper, if they are right handed, left upper, if they are left handed). This is because your logical side is opposite your handedness, and your creativity is the same side as your handedness. If they put their palms on their face, forehead, or neck, they are subconsciously trying to hide from you.
Overreactions: Watch for extreme overreaction (honest people aren’t easily offended or annoyed). Normal emotions only last up to 10 seconds, so if you ask a question and they stay with their emotional state beyond 10 seconds, it’s a sure sign. The person might become hostile too.
Recommended punishment: “What should happen to the person who stole the money?” Ask them what the punishment should be. The guilty party will go easy on the “crime”.
Voice: If their voice begins to differ from normal (baseline), like their verbal style, tone, speed, volume, content, this would indicate something’s up. After an interrogation, look for signs of relief as this could indicate that they feel their deception has worked. Make a liar retell his story or ask about things out of sequence. This will force him to think very hard to keep things in order.
Face: If their reactions on their face are asymmetrical, it’s a sign of lying. Normally, facial activity are pretty symmetrical. A half smile (on 1 side of your face) is a sign of contempt. When someone scrunches their face into the middle, it’s a sign of disgust (except in the case when a woman does it with a smile, then it’s flirting). This could show up as wrinkles around the eyes too.
