Lie Detection Techniques
The difference between adults and children is wisdom. Both have the same ability to learn, yet adults still know more. You gain wisdom through experience. Every day you gain experience from your mistakes. Through my mistakes, I have learned four great lie detection techniques that I initiate when I presume some one is lying.
Using these techniques is like everything else in life. You’ve heard of the slogan, “practice makes perfect”, well this applies to these three lie detection techniques too. You have to know when to use them, and which to use. Some times you have to do more then just listen and watch. You have to trap a liar. You have to make him or her dig themselves into a hole. Please post your questions, thoughts, and opinions in the lie detection forums.
Here are the four lie detection techniques:
Making up a fact - technique number 1
After listening to someone’s story, if you believe he or she is deceiving you, ask your friend a very specific detail pertinent to the story that he or she could not possibly know unless he or she was telling the truth.
Example: Your friend tells you that he picked up a really pretty girl and she was really into him. You ask him what her name was. He says a name.
Now to tell if he’s lying, this is what you do. As soon as you hear the name you pretend like you know her, and you can introduce an assumption by saying “oh yeah, I know her we used to be best friends when we were little. I just saw her recently. Does she still have the nose ring and the tongue piercing?(you are completely making this up)
Step two
Let their be a silence and watch carefully how he reacts
If he goes along with your little fake story, and says “yeah that’s her!” Your once trustworthy friend is now a liar. If he says I have no idea what you’re talking about, he probably is not lying.
Second example:
You ask your girl friend where she was last night. She responds by saying she was just at her friend Samantha’s house.
Step 1.) “Oh god I heard what happened were you their when it happened?”
She will say when what happened. “When the blankets on her bed caught fire, thank god she put it out before the whole house burned down.”
Step 2.)Watch her react. “Yes I was, it was horrifying!” SHES LYING!!! She wasn’t at her friend’s house.
Lie Detection Technique number 2
If you think someone lied about a subject, make sure you get their attention, speak clearly, and hit them with a question pertaining to that subject out of the blue. If their answer is “what”, or “huh” they are most likely lying. Saying these things is a defense mechanism, and as you’re restating the question their using that time to come up with a plausible response.
Important note: Wait a minute until the subject has passed, it is important to make sure the person you are asking is not still thinking about the subject.
Remember, it is important that you time these lie detection techniques right.
Lie Detection Technique number 3
Professionals use the changing subject technique to ferret out liars. If a person’s mien is off, and they are appearing to be deceptive, then you should change the course of the conversation, and switch topics very abruptly. Someone who has been lying about a subject will become more relaxed, and will welcome this change in subject. After you change the subject, watch attentively as their face lightens up. A person who is telling the truth will have a cryptic expression on their face when you change the subject, and will try to direct the conversation back towards that subject.
Lie Detection Technique number 4
This lie detection technique may seem like common sense, but it is an extremely effective and powerful tool in your arsenal. This is what you do:
Allow your suspect to do a full recount of the story, and listen closely to the sequence of events in the story. Afterwards, politely ask him to tell the story once again, but this time have the person recount it backwards. The person may give you a belligerent response, because the request may sound very outlandish.
You must be persistent, and once he does recount the story backwards, listen for any discrepancies in the story, or discrepancies in the sequence of events. Unless this person has an unbelievable memory, their will be many discrepancies in the sequence of events if he is lying. It is extremely difficult to recall events backwards in the same sequence if you made them up.
If you do not believe this technique works, ask someone you know to make up a story. Then tell them to say it backwards. Watch as they grow frustrated, and give up.
