In the course of recent research in the field of psychology, it has been proven that, by practicing lying, a person increases his own level of intelligence. However, no one wants to play the role of a deceived one. Fortunately, there are several ways to find out the truth.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the voice and speech of the other person. Liars, as a rule, speak allegorically and go around the bush. Their speech is replete with interjections, such as "uh-uh" or "mmm", indicating indecision and doubt. In addition, when they lie, they unconsciously raise their voices.
Step 2
Take a closer look at the person you are talking to. When a person lies, he looks you directly in the eyes without blinking, or, conversely, he does not look at you at all. At the same time, the man studies the sex, and the woman studies the ceiling. The same emotions are noticeable on the right and left sides of the face, but the synchronicity of the muscles is inconsistent. This gives the impression that on one side of the face, emotions are more pronounced.
Step 3
Observe the gestures. Often it is the gestures that betray the lie. Having lied, the man will straighten the knot of the tie, and the woman will touch the neck. The liar rubs his hands or drum with his fingers, and also scratches his face, head, or neck, touches his earlobes, and rubs his eyes. It is common for a liar to fiddle with clothes, a pen or keys, move objects from place to place, or touch them too often. Brushing your hair, curling curls or pulling strands also indicates nervous tension and fear of being caught in a lie. In addition, the liar tries to find support in the form of a wall, a table, or the back of a chair.
Step 4
Pay attention to whether the gestures are consistent with what is being spoken about. Often the liar's gestures are not consistent. For example, when expressing denial out loud, he may nod, subconsciously testifying otherwise.
Step 5
Listen to the words. If the interlocutor assures you of his own truthfulness, keep in mind that you definitely should not trust him.
Step 6
Pay more attention to detail. During a lie, a person tries to embellish the overall picture, forgetting about small details. Let's say your man tells you an awesome story about being at a bar with a friend. Have a casual conversation about it and in the meantime ask what his friend was wearing. If your question confuses him or he starts to think up details with difficulty, he is trying to hide something. Conversely, the more details he tells you, the more sincere his story will be.
