The Truth is often
associated with Good,
Love and Justice.
The Lie is often
associates with Bad,
Hate and Crime.

Stands in accordance to fact
and state.
Does not stand in
accordance to fact and state

Let us identify signs for true or false, in
personal communication.

This is how we people perceive communication !
We are mostly impressed by GESTURES
We weigh a lot to
Tone and Voice
We perceive the
actual Words less.

BUT Human Behavior is not uniform !
Difference of mentality
Difference of Origin
Language
Standards
Points of View
Education
Upbringing
All these and more cause people to behave
different in the same situation.

What causes the signs we are looking for ?
All signs of lies are caused by
Inhibitions
All signs of truth come
from conviction

How do we recognize and measure the
signs of Inhibition and conviction during a
verbal communication ?
FIRST we have to set the Baseline, because
we remember that
Different people have different
behavior.

Setting the baseline is important and a bit tricky!
It calls for observing the talker during truthful
answers to simple questions, note signs that
may seem “bad” to eliminate them later on, and
“good” signs to consider too.
This should only
take a moment

Signs of Inhibition
When a person is lying they need to counter it by and
action:
Hiding, masking, diminishing, distancing, covering,
coloring, ridiculing and telling a lot of irrelevant.

Signs of conviction
The truth is less easy to detect, conviction should
be based on simplicity, factualism, straight
forwardness, open behavior, no fear no
intimidation.

Remember that the ratio for measuring is considered
to be :
55% Body language about 1/2
45% Psycholinguistics about 1/2

Body Language # 1 The Head
When observing the Head consider:
Eyes: open/close
Covering, Looking out or at the
watch, the white under, narrowing
Nose: touch, rub, picking
Mouth: close hard, biting, wetting,
nibbling objects
Ears: picking, pulling, scratching

Body Language # 2 The Face
When observing the Face consider:
General color change
whitening or blushing
General expression frozen,
poker face or amiable.
The Neck Artery and the
Adam’s Apple

Body Language # 4 Neck and Shoulders
When observing the Neck search for:
touching, rubbing, stiffness or to much
movement.
When observing the Shoulders search
for: raising one side or both, shrugging,
lowering the head to the shoulder or
forward to the chest.

Body Language # 3 Hands
When observing the Hands search for:
making fists, inverting, hiding or
showing the palm, self hugging or arms
aside, wide or close to body, touching
face, neck, forehead, hair, ears and nose,
playing with objects,
waving off gestures

Body Language # 4 Body
Mostly your object will be sitting but it is the
same when standing
Pay attention to movement against
stiffness.
Is the object facing the
interrogator or shying ?
Is the object wide open or closed
or huddled.
Is the object still or nervous.

Psycholinguistics # 1
Repression vs. Suppression
•If a subject has repressed information
into the subconscious, he will not react
on it, it will be non-existent to us.
•But if the subject is suppressing the
information he will react and inhibitions
will cause the known effects in the PL
mode.

Remember the Signs of Inhibition!
When one is lying one needs to oppose it by:
Hiding, masking, diminishing, distancing, covering,
coloring, ridiculing and telling a lot of irrelevant.

Psycholinguistics #2 - Hear Reactions
Speech Pattern, intonation and volume, will vary and
change for lies,
or the opposite takes place for truth.

“Distancing” is the most popular “It is not me, it just
happened to me” and in many other versions.
“Diminishing” is also common “Nothing really
happened” , or similar.

“Ridiculing” and “Coloring” are similar , they make it
a joke or flamboyant event.
“Covering” is a manipulative action of
distraction.

And last but not least
Irrelevant stories are meant to create a lot of “noise” in
order to loose the truth in it, like smoke on a
battlefield.

Most important !
Never forget to set the Baseline!
Never judge on one instance!
In all test you need at least 3 instances set in different
parts.
