The FBI teaches you lie detection, people reading and intelligence skills

Chapter 18 Beware of the Way Liars Say
Everyone has their own speaking characteristics. Even if it is the same thing, if two people narrate it, they may hear different feelings.The FBI, a master lie detector, can completely distinguish the authenticity of the speaker from different speaking styles.

The thoughts and ideas that the speaker tries to hide are usually closely related to the way he expresses and speaks.The reason why many liars go to the gang is not that they are careless, nor that their lies are too sloppy, but that they have betrayed themselves invisibly in the process of lying.

§§§ Section [-] The liar speaks too slowly or murmurs
The FBI can judge the authenticity of a person's words from the speed of others' speech.Of course, if a liar whispers and speaks in a low voice, it may also be due to lying.

1. Liars speak too slowly

A company used a "response timing test" in the process of recruiting some employees.They ask candidates who come in for an interview if they can accept overtime, or if they feel uncomfortable working with or serving certain people.The longer a candidate takes to answer "no" or "won't," the lower the score they receive.

This question is about working attitude and requires internal operating procedures.A person with a positive work attitude responds quickly.A biased person takes longer to think about a question before saying an answer. They try to say the "right" answer, so they take longer than it would take to give an honest answer. time.

2. Liars often mutter
Liars may speak indistinctly, in a low voice, without enthusiasm, as if the words are forced out.Perhaps out of fear, his voice became higher and his speech speed increased, and he lost everything, had no syntactic structure at all, and might stutter and speak wrong words.

For example: A woman pinches her waist and points at a man: "Is there another woman outside you?" Women lie a lot and will change the subject, or something else, trying to divert attention.If a man is slurring his words, he's probably lying, especially if his brain has to multitask.

§§§Section [-] Liars often speak violently and raise their voices

For how to see through other people's lies, the FBI believes that there are two more points:

1. Liars are often violent

Sometimes, in order to convince themselves as well as their accusers, a person may declare to be angry about a certain idea or belief.Not a crack, but a flood of information leaked by a hot-mouthed person.At that time, the liar was completely controlled by his emotions. Once the time passed, he realized that he had said what he should not have said.

2. Liars often pause and raise their voices

If you think someone is lying to you and pretend to believe everything he says, he will eventually give in because of his overconfidence.Then, ask him to repeat what he just said (lie).A good liar rehearses in advance and can accurately repeat a previously told lie, yet he will pause for a while to narrate.A good liar will think he has gotten away with it.Then ask him to repeat what he said just now.Because he didn't plan to perform it three times in a row, his mind has been relaxed, and his speech is often different from the previous two times.Because lying is often accompanied by tension, the liar's voice will involuntarily rise.

When the police interrogate criminal suspects, they often use the method of asking the other party to repeat it over and over again, so as to seize the flaw and find a breakthrough.

§§§Section [-] Liar's verbal information is too much and the subject is changed

The following two points are also common observation methods used by the FBI to see through other people's lies.

1. Liars have too much verbal information
Liars tend to use a lot of vocabulary to embellish their lies again and again.Verbal information overload is also one of the weaknesses of lies, because it is an abnormal way of speaking.The information overload in lying is not the liar's original intention, but his expression error.The error of information overload is due to inexperience, artificiality, and always thinking about making the lie more complete.

A simple question, after answering "yes" or "no", he will quickly make further explanations on the problem.

A good liar may pay attention to his words in the way he speaks, but even if he is a good liar, he may hide a certain aspect or several aspects very well, but there will always be one Two betrayed him.

2. Liars like to change the subject

When a person is lying, he may change the subject suddenly because he does not want to return to the topic just now, and uses humor and sarcasm to eliminate a certain topic.

When you think the other person might be lying, change the subject quickly.If the other party is indeed lying, they will be very happy to change the subject and follow your wishes.Or if you act as if you believe it, then he will be bolder, tell more outrageous lies, and reveal himself.

§§§[-] Liars seldom emphasize and often slip up

The FBI believes that in order to cover up his lies, a liar will rarely emphasize what he has said. Of course, if he repeats it, slips of the tongue are common.

1. Liars rarely stress

People who tell the truth feel free to emphasize personal pronouns in sentences.But liars use little or no personal pronouns like "I" or "we."Might be a short "yes" rather than "yes, I am".

Liars also don't emphasize tone of voice.Often say some innocuous, ambiguous sentences.For example, instead of saying "We had a great time", he would say "It was nice", "It was okay".

When an honest person agrees or denies something, he emphasizes it by lengthening the tone of a word or two at the beginning of a sentence, such as "no-yes" "yes-of".This kind of emphasis usually doesn't come out of the liar's mouth.

2. Liars make slips of the tongue
Freud once said: "Some things you don't want to say, but slip your mouth, is a typical self-confession!" If a liar is worried about being found out or feels guilty, he will make a slip of the tongue.

If a person makes a speech error when speaking or a subject-predicate dislocation occurs in a sentence, or there are words with similar pronunciation in a sentence.If there is an inappropriate expression on the face, then it can be preliminarily determined that the person may be lying.

The FBI pointed out that in order to tell a lie, people have to improvise, which leads to hesitation, slips of the tongue, lack of detail, etc.If you analyze it in combination with the other party's expression, you can even draw the conclusion that you don't even believe what he said.

Of course, there are also master liars who rarely make slips of the tongue, but there is absolutely no one who has lied many times without making a single slip of the tongue.
