FBI mind attack: the super psychological tactics of the US federal police

Chapter 27 Courtesy first, Soldiers later, Give enough face before setting conditions - FBI's psychological tactics of post-strike (4)
In this way, the FBI wiped out this hidden money laundering consortium, and also brought out some other groups and individuals who had money laundering activities, which greatly cracked down on money laundering activities in the region and contributed to maintaining the stability of the region's economy. .

Once this matter was disclosed by the media, it quickly spread in American society.Because most people really want to know how the FBI implements psychological tactics against opponents in actual combat, for this reason the FBI concluded:
(1) Pretending to be understanding and pretending to be confused.

The FBI believes that if you want to know the psychology of your opponent, even if you have a very thorough understanding of a certain matter, don't show off too much. The most sensible way is to "pretend to be confused."Because from the psychological analysis of the FBI over the years, most people subconsciously hope that others will not surpass themselves in terms of work ability or personal quality.Therefore, if one person shows off his knowledge or talent in front of someone, it may arouse the dissatisfaction of the other person, and even conflicts may arise between the two parties.If someone wants to gain the trust of others, the FBI suggests that even if the ability is really better than another person, they should not make a statement. It is necessary to know that pretending to be confused is the most important way to win the trust of others, so as to achieve a thorough understanding of the other party's psychological purpose.

(2) Push the boat along with the current and follow the trend.

The FBI believes that in many cases, doing things smoothly can not only win good interpersonal relationships for yourself, but also make the other party take the initiative to narrow the psychological distance with you, thus laying a good foundation for your psychological attack.

For example: When the leader is conducting work guidance, he said: "From the market feedback of this product, consumers have already approved this product, but the fly in the ointment is that the product packaging needs to be improved." At this time, there may be two different Voice, the first voice: "As you know, this product packaging has been done by many design companies, and they have also proposed innovations in product packaging. However, judging from the current product sales, consumers It is the product that is identified, not the product packaging, so there is no need to adjust the packaging."

The second voice: "The manager is right, the product sales are indeed very optimistic, but in the long run, in order to enhance the competitiveness of the product, it is necessary to update the product packaging, so as to attract consumers more. Therefore, I It is recommended that all departments of the company should conscientiously implement the work of updating product packaging and make efforts for the development of the company!"

It is clear from this that from a leadership perspective, it is more willing to accept a second voice.Because in the leader's view, the second voice responded to his own wishes and maintained his dignity.Just imagine, which leader doesn't like subordinates who are strong in work execution and can maintain their dignity?And such subordinates will naturally be promoted and appreciated by the leaders.

(3) Keep your thoughts hidden deep inside.

The FBI believes that it is difficult for people who are used to rebutting when others speak to be respected by others.Conversely, those who keep their thoughts to themselves tend to get more attention from others.Because to a certain extent, it is difficult for people who confront others to establish friendship in the process of interacting with others afterwards, and those who are really good at attacking minds will mostly express their opinions implicitly, so that the two sides can build mutual trust It will be relatively easier.

When many people are lamenting the increasingly complex international situation, the FBI can be calm and unhurried. When people ask how they calmly attack others, the FBI often warns people: "In the art of attacking the opponent's mind, If you can not easily refute the other party and follow the other party's wishes, then your goal of attacking others' minds can be successfully accomplished."

7. Belittle yourself and elevate your opponent

"If you want to understand the other party more thoroughly, you must understand this psychological strategy—belittle yourself and elevate your opponent." This is a saying that the FBI often talks about.Indeed, in the actual combat process of the FBI, they also used this sentence very skillfully, and even reached the point of proficiency.

The FBI believes that in the process of interacting with people, demeaning oneself appropriately and praising the other party can make the other party have a certain sense of superiority in psychology, so as to relax the vigilance of oneself, so that it is easier for oneself to grasp the psychology of the opponent .

When someone heard that his partner who grew up with him in childhood got promoted and got rich, and wanted to confirm the authenticity of the matter, he asked, "I haven't seen you for a few years. I heard that your official career is bright. Congratulations!"

"Where, it's all for making a living. Compared with your mastery of the mall, it's just a drop in the bucket."

"I heard that you have new research in the field of biological science?"

"Although I have made some small achievements, it is still not comparable to your achievements in this field. I should still ask you for advice."

It can be seen that these words are all words spoken by people using psychological strategies to belittle themselves and promote others.

The FBI research found that everyone likes to be encouraged or praised by others, so in the process of getting along with others, people need to motivate or praise each other at all times to satisfy or cater to the vanity of others.After all, this can shorten the psychological distance between yourself and others, so that you can achieve the purpose of knowing the psychological characteristics of others.

But for those who are introverted, especially those with capricious personalities, raising them too much may make the other person feel humiliated, which in turn makes them repulsive and resistant.And this requires people to pay special attention to the "fire" when motivating or praising others.

In fact, in some special times or occasions, it is not possible to directly use words to speak words of encouragement or praise to others.In this case, you may wish to express your encouragement or praise to others in a different way of thinking, which may bring you unexpected results.Many people may ask: "What kind of thinking should I use to express encouragement or praise to others?"

Belittle yourself — that's the answer the FBI gives, and the FBI often uses a seesaw to illustrate the problem.

The seesaw is no stranger to many people. When one end of the seesaw touches the ground, its other end will definitely be suspended in the air. The FBI believes that the "seesaw effect" can also be used in the process of interacting with people.If one person always holds one end of the seesaw close to the ground, the person on the other end may be lifted high.This not only makes this person feel happy, but more importantly, he can experience a feeling of being respected in his heart.That is to say, by belittling yourself and elevating others, you can make others get psychological satisfaction, so that you can gain the trust and love of others.In this way, people can naturally achieve the purpose of insight into other people's psychology.

On the contrary, if you are the person in the high position of the seesaw, it is likely to arouse the disgust of the other party.Because in their eyes, there is a feeling of being underestimated, which not only hurts their self-esteem, but also creates hostility towards you. As time goes by, the relationship between the two parties will even fall into a tense situation, and finally the opportunity to gain insight into the other party’s psychology will be wiped out. .

Due to its developed economy, California has attracted many underground banks, which has greatly disrupted the normal local economic order.However, due to the high concealment of underground money houses, the federal police did not go very smoothly in the actual investigation process.

In order to ban these illegal underground banks as soon as possible and maintain normal financial order, the FBI decided to send an experienced person disguised as a "businessman" to sneak into the underground banks to learn more about the situation.

As a result, the FBI successfully entered the underground bank as a "businessman".Underground banks are flooded by usury, money laundering, illegal fund-raising, etc. There is an endless stream of people who come here for transactions every day, but the biggest beneficiaries are those big consortia with the nature of the underworld hidden behind them.

The FBI realized that it was difficult to clean up this well-organized and widely distributed underworld consortium through conventional methods, so the FBI decided to launch a psychological offensive against it.

First of all, the FBI found the person in charge behind the bank through an intermediary, and said straight to the point: "My younger brother came to the elder brother's site to make a living in order to make a living. Please give me your advice." Then he handed over a heavy gift bag.

After the person in charge of the bank accepted the gift package with a smile, in the next period of time, the FBI began to raise the identity of the person in charge of the bank and gave them generous gifts.As time went by, the vigilance of the person in charge of the bank to the "businessman" disappeared, and he regarded the "businessman" as "one of his own", and began to reveal the organizational structure of the bank to him.
