At Lifestyle we already talk to you about “The keys to detect lies”, but in this entry we discover all the steps to hunt a liar .Don't miss them!

Will it be a lie or not?

There are many excuses that a person can put when he wants to avoid certain explanations, such as: "I can't stay.I'm late this afternoon." However, suspicions are useless , since they are not useful for affirm that what is said is true or false.

It is for all this that the psychologist at the University of Sussex in England, Thomas Ormerod has created a system for reveal if the person we are talking to is lying or not. All this while the conversation with that person is taking place.The exact point is to be natural and follow u no steps previously established.

The method of hunting a liar

The psychologist Ormerod has stated on the BBC network that he devised this method after the proposal received from training a group of law enforcement officers to differentiate at an airport to travelers who lied about those who were sincere.Their purpose was to betray the only person in every thousand who intended to deceive them during a common test.

The method

The Ormerod method is based on 5 very simple steps, let's see them!

The method of hunting a liar

In this way, in your story there will be failures or mistakes that then not remember, surely, its next versions will have some inconsistencies with respect to the first one.Pay close attention!

Ask strange questions

One of these questions may be force you to transmit its history in reverse , from front to back.Yes, it is more complicated to control the lie.Again this could allow you to notice any doubt or incoherence in your story.

Focus attention on the details

If you are wondering about the place where the event happened, the information on how I got there, for example, would be requested in a very natural way .Memorize this data, since later they are the ones you can check, especially if they have to do with schedules or events that you can consult.

Refine in the obvious and weak points

In the conversation you would have to focus on the points that the interlocutor enhances and which are more obvious. Little to little to insist, without raising suspicions, in the least consistent.

Do not attack

Finally, it must be borne in mind that the liar cannot be attacked When he betrays his lies, then the conversation will end, he will change the subject.Be patient and remember when the theory is not supported.Later you will face the matter.

And you? Do you distrust someone right now? Would you use this method to discover their lies? If you liked it, you can also read «The Pinocchio effect: telltale noses».
