Be careful with this. Some people, including me, can purposely (and falsely!) trigger your lie detector. If I believe that x=1 and if I want you to believe that I believe that x=0, I can say "x=1" while purposely displaying the tells you are looking for. People want to think that they are smart- that they are capable of reading people. It's much easier to just give them what they are looking for and move on than to leave them sitting there analyzing you for the next few minutes. They'll also think that you're a shit liar which is useful.
- kayodelycaon 4y agoI’m not a lie detector. I spot inconsistencies. :) I’ve had to learn to read people logically. I have no intuitive feeling for emotions. So I got good at analyzing and predicting people in a non-standard way. People don’t know what I’m looking at and don’t know what they need to fake. For all of the people who have lied to me (successfully or not), I’ve seen no common patterns to look for. That's why I compared it to a polygraph.
