Truthful Eyes

Do you know that you can tell if someone is lying to you by observing their behaviors? I had this discussion with a friend the other day. He said that if someone is using their fingers to cover their mouth when they are speaking to you, or clearing their throat alot are two indications that someone is not being honest. I decided to further investigate the topic.

Another way, is if someone's eyes are constantly looking to their left when talking with you. Not the right, that means they are putting together the thoughts as they are speaking, like recalling something.

I'm not sure if this is accurate or not and the following article has its own opinions, but its worth noting, whether its in a dating situation or even a business meeting.

Observing someone's eyes and which direction they are looking is called "Visual Accessing Cues." This was discussed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in their book: "Frogs into Princes: Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) "

The article says: "When asked a question a "normally organized" right-handed person looks (from your viewpoint, looking at them):

Up and to the Left
Indicates: Visually Constructed Images (Vc)
If you asked someone to "Imagine a purple buffalo", this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they "Visually Constructed" a purple buffalo in their mind.

Up and to the Right
Indicates: Visually Remembered Images (Vr)
If you asked someone to "What color was the first house you lived in?", this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they "Visually Remembered" the color of their childhood home.

To the Left
Indicates: Auditory Constructed (Ac)
If you asked someone to "Try and create the highest the sound of the pitch possible in your head", this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they "Auditorily Constructed" this this sound that they have never heard of.

To the Right
Indicates: Auditory Remembered (Ar)
If you asked someone to "Remember what their mother's voice sounds like ", this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they "Auditorily Remembered " this sound.

Down and to the Left
Indicates: Feeling / Kinesthetic (F)
If you asked someone to "Can you remember the smell of a campfire? ", this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they used recalled a smell, feeling, or taste.

Down and To the Right
(Indicates: Internal Dialog (Ai)
This is the direction of someone eyes as they "talk to themselves".

The Gist of it...
How this information is used to detect lies:
Example: Let's say your child asks you for a cookie, and you ask: "Well, what did your mother say?" As they reply "Mom said... yes.", they look to the left. This would indicate a made up answer as their eyes are showing a "constructed image or sound. Looking to the right would indicated a "remembered" voice or image, and thus would be telling the truth."

Pretty cool, huh! Try this out in an experiement of your own!
