Part one, stealth lie detection tactics for detecting deceit and gathering information tactics to the
ultimate alibi buster.
Have you ever wanted to hook someone up to a lie detector test to see if he was lying to you?
Well, with this tactic, you can instantly find out if his story checks out or if his alibi is nothing
but a pack of lies and all by asking a few simple questions.
Let's say a woman suspected that her boyfriend was not at the local movies with his brother, like you
said he was, but actually went out to the city with a group of friends simply by asking him if he did
indeed go to the movies would only prompt.
Yes, this is, of course, because if he was there, he would say yes.
And if he wasn't, he would also likely stick to his story.
By using this technique, she simply asks two questions to confirm the facts and then introduces a made
up fact.
For instance, she would say, what movie did you see?
And then perhaps or what time did it let out?
And then she introduces her own, quote unquote, fact and would say something such as, oh, I heard
the traffic was backed up for an hour because of a water main break at that hour.
Now, all she has to do is sit back and wait for his response.
This is because her boyfriend is faced with a conundrum.
If he wasn't at the movies, he doesn't know whether to acknowledge that there was a water main break
because there might have been one or they might not have been one.
And if he says that there wasn't and there was, then she'll know that he really wasn't there.
But regardless of his answer, he will do the one thing that every single person when confronted with
this technique will do, and that is hesitate deciding how to answer.
Remember, had he been at the theater, he would instantly have said there was no water main break.
What are you talking about?
But the liar isn't sure because he wasn't there and so is going to hesitate in his answer.
But in doing so, give himself away.
On top of that, he'll likely answer wrongly by agreeing to what you said because he doesn't know that
you're making it up.
Let's review a you start by asking two confirming questions and then introduce your own detail again.
It has to be something that's not true.
If you merely confirm something that's actually true, you haven't learned anything new.
Second, it must sound reasonable, otherwise the person you're questioning might think that it's just
the joke you want him to answer seriously.
And finally, your assertion has to be something that would directly affect this person.
So he would have firsthand knowledge of this information if he hesitates, changes his subjects or gives
a wrong answer to your question, then you know you're not getting the truth.
Now, you can turn up the heat with this technique a little bit more by adding a tactic called the facts
domino the facts domino means that during the conversation you simply ask in a general way questions
pertaining to your suspicion that force the person to continue to recall more and more information.
If he's speaking the truth, they don't answer you quickly and effortlessly.
But if he's lying, he's going to take a while because he's trying to mentally rehearse his answers.
For example, you would ask questions that give an objective, not a subjective response.
For instance, if you think an employee was at home when he said he would really be away visiting a
sick mother, you wouldn't ask them how he enjoyed the weather in Florida because people generally take
longer to respond to these types of questions.
Instead, ask him something such as, did you rent the car and then casually ask more questions in the
same vein or what kind of car did rent?
Hey, did you get a cool color?
And so on and so on.
Generally, the only way someone would want to change the subject would be if he's uncomfortable with
the questions.
If you're asking simple, innocuous questions, you should expect that he would want to extend the conversation
and not end it.
Most people would love to go on endlessly about the new restaurant they went to, the trip they took
or the job that they turned down.
Unless, of course, they're lying and you keep asking questions and then it becomes quite annoying
and frustrating for them.
And they're going to look to change the subject as fast as they can.
