How to Become a Human Lie Detector

After my last post about that M.I.L.K. I met at the grocery store, I started thinking that perhaps I’m not as astute in deciphering liars from those telling the truth. So I searched You Tube for videos that would enlighten me on how to spot a liar so I can become a human lie detector.

Part 1: Dr. Lillian Glass talks about the four aspects of body language.

Part 2: The mouth says it all.

Part 3: Learn how to sniff a liar by looking at their nose. Now I know why Pinocchio’s nose grew every time he fibbed.

Part 4:  Speech patterns of the fibber.

Part 5: Arms and hand movements of a liar.

Here’s a June 1, 2011 interview of disgraced politician Anthony Weiner denying that he posted a lewd picture of himself on Twitter. He later admits to sending the photo. Using Dr. Glass’ tips on how to detect a liar observe Weiner’s facial expressions and speech pattern in this video. Is he a good liar or a bad liar?

Now, take a look at this video of Weiner admitting that he did send the Twitter photo. He apologizes and says he’s “deeply sorry.” Do you believe him?

Are you good at detecting a liar? Do you think that with enough practice you can become a human lie detector?
