Step 1
Look at Their Eyes:
If the person you are talking to looks:
Up and to their right – they are telling a lie (if they are right handed)
Up and to their left – they are remember something and probably telling the truth (if they are right-handed)
Switch these two indicators if the person is left-handed. -
Step 2
Tone of Voice:
While they are talking, pay attention to their tone of voice. If it suddenly changes, it is a good indication they just told a lie. -
Step 3
Watch Body Language:
The following are signs a person is lying to you:
** Rubbing their neck
** Tapping fingers
** Leaning back in their chair
** Tightly folded hands
** Sitting to the side
** Folding their arms in front of them
** Looking at their watch
** Placing an object between them and you
** Changing the subject tangentially

on 10/12/2009 I discussed all 3 of these steps with my family. My son had heard of the first one. I know of another one they said when Bill Clinton was lying. He would answer yes when his head was shaking no. When you say do this it is suppose to mean your lying. The person that ask him all these questions told the people this. Great article. thanks for sharing. 5*
