    HOW TO SPOT A

    LIAR
    Vitaliy Golumbievskiy
    4 group
    Gesture #1: Closed Hands
    ◦ Closed hands can be interpreted as
    a sign of closed-mindedness,
    submission or defensiveness,
    which are all states of mind that
    can be related to lies.
    ◦ Most people nd it hard to lie while
    their hands are open
    Gesture #2: Locked Ankles
    ◦ Locked ankles are interpreted as closed
    mindedness, submissive, or defensive
    which are all state of minds that can be
    related to lies.
    ◦ Always keep in mind; leg crossing
    should be read in context and in groups
    of other body language gestures.
    Gesture #3: Create a Barrier

    ◦ A person who is dishonest may even use


    objects such as a bag or a cup to create a
    barrier between the two of you.
    Gesture #4: Denying Eye Contact
    ◦ Denying eye contact is often a sign of
    discomfort. Usually people make eye
    contact for about half of the
    conversation, so if you notice their eyes
    constantly wavering, especially during a
    touchy subject, you may be dealing with
    a liar.
    Gesture #5: Covering mouth
    ◦ Covering mouth is usually a sign of
    discomfort and can be related to stress.
    When you notice someone suddenly
    covering their mouth or rubbing their
    chin, it’s usually a sign they are
    uncomfortable.
    Gesture #6 Rubbing lower eyelid
    ◦ Rubbing lower eyelid is like saying: “Im
    not so sure about what has been said.” e
    deeper the nger rubs, the greater the
    discomfort and disbelief with what is
    being said or heard.
    Gesture #7: Touching the Nose
    ◦ Research shows that, when a person is
    dishonest, they tend to touch their nose
    often. e theory behind touching the nose
    gesture is to mimic the person covering
    their mouth as if they are telling lies.
    ◦ Remember, it’s never one gesture that detects a lie, some ofthese
    gestures however can have multiple meanings
    suchas doubt, uncertainty andexaggeration, therefore make sure
    you detect multiple bodylanguage gestures.
     More Nonverbal Signals to detect a lie

    •  Speaking Slowly: When telling a lie the liar will usually make up events while talking.
    •  Change of Tones: e tone of voice changes when lying. Listen for higher or lower tone pitches
    than their normal speech during a particular point of the conversation.
    •  Speech Hesitation: A liar will hesitate while thinking of a lie to t the occasion.
    •  Blinking Rate Will Increase from the normal 10 blinks per minute to up to 60 blinks per
    minute. 
    I really hope you enjoyed it
