Few people like it when they lie or hide part of the truth. Some of them, after talking with a suspicious interlocutor, begin to double-check the information received, while others simply pass words by. In the meantime, you can find out if a person is telling the truth in the process of communication.

Often, employers use this technique during interviews with candidates. First, they ask a question to which their interlocutor gives an affirmative answer, then a question implying a denial, and record the rate of breathing, dilated pupils, and fine motor skills with both answers. In further dialogue, if the applicant lies, the employer will notice his lie, since the physical reaction will not correspond to the answer.

Try the same method before starting a serious conversation. For example, you can check with your interlocutor whether it’s exactly Wednesday, what he will answer in the affirmative, and after a while, referring to forgetfulness, ask if his sister is in the tenth grade, to which he will answer that you are wrong, and she is in the eleventh. You saw the reaction of the interlocutor to a positive and negative answer and now you can start a dialogue.

If you suspect the interlocutor of insincerity, ask him a clarifying question about a fact about which he told you a few minutes ago. In the event that the speech was invented, your opponent will need a lot of time to remember what he composed.

Keep track of the pace of the speech of a person whose integrity you are unsure of. A liar can speak too quickly, as if he were afraid that you would kill him or ask a tricky question that would ruin his story. Or, on the contrary, his speech will be excessively slow. This means that a person comes up on the go, and it takes time to decide whether or not to tell you this.

Pay attention to the gestures of your opponent. Overly violent gestures, constant scratching of the nose, touching the mouth should alert you. A liar can shift from one foot to another, twirl small objects in his hands, trying to hide his excitement. However, remember that these gestures may have another explanation: a person is worried, he needs to leave, but he does not dare to interrupt the conversation, or his nose simply itches.
