Liar Detection - Learn The Signs of a Liar

Let's take a look at some of the signs of a liar.

Eye Contact - Typically someone who you are speaking with will make eye contact at least 50% of the time. If that person seems to be avoiding eye contact, or perhaps looking down during a particular part of your conversation, they may be lying to you.

There are more advanced scenarios regarding eye movement, such as up, down, left, and right eye movements.

There is more on eye movement below.

Verbal/Speech - Variation in the rate of speech and voice pitch can be indicators of deception.
Liars tend to use longer sentences than is required, such as when a simple "no" will do, they might say something like "No, I did not steal that $22.50 from the cash drawer" or "No, I did not eat that cookie."
It is also interesting to note that liars tend not to use contractions. Example: "I did not..." instead of "I didn't...", etc.

A guilty person may speak more than normal, inserting unnecessary information to make his/her story more plausible. This is generally a nervous reaction

Also, contradicting oneself can very well be a tell-tell sign of deception.

Body Language - Typically when someone is lying they will want to keep a particularly "safe distance" between the two of you. Additionally, the liar may seem "stiff", which is to say that that hand and arm movement may be more limited than normal, with the exception say of tending to scratch the legs or face or ears. Nervous/busy behavior. Not the the type of gestures you would normally expect.

I kind of regard these types of behaviors having to do with trying to stay inside of oneself. Being more internal than external.

How about sweating? Have you ever seen a person's head bead out in perspiration when concocting a story? It is something to see :( Again, that is nervousness showing. The heart rate is probably higher at this point.

Let's take a look at some eye movement lying signs that you should look for in a person to determine whether he or she is speaking the truth or not.

1. The first thing that you need to look for is whether the other person is looking directly into your eyes or not. You will find that those who lie are usually not willing to look others directly in the eyes when talking. This is sort of a defense mechanism for liars since a feeling of uneasiness lurks inside them, stopping them from looking at others directly.

2. Whenever you are looking for eye movement lying signs in another person watch out for constant motion of the pupils. The eyes of those who lie will be constantly moving in all directions. These eye movement lying signs are an indication that he or she is trying to cook up a story in their mind.
When you see rapid eye movements in a person, you should deal carefully with that person.

3. Another tell tale eye movement lying sign is when you see a person blinking uncharacteristically. While blinking is a natural process, it is when it becomes unnatural that you can get a hint that the person opposite you may be trying to conceal the truth from you.

4. More often than not people tend to look down whenever they lie. You should therefore, deal carefully with someone who constantly looks towards the floor, when you are talking to him or her.
