Poll Results: Deception Detection Techniques

April 1, 2008/in /by Eyes for Lies

I found the results of this poll really interesting.

Having read my blog, what do you think is my biggest clue to deception?

Microexpressions, or regular facial expressions (15 votes)
Inconsistencies in emotion (15 votes)
Odd word choices (14 votes)
Inconsistencies in fact (10 votes)
Inconsistencies in character/personality traits (10 votes)

I am amazed at how we all have different perceptions of which area gives me the biggest clue to deception. We are almost split evenly across the board. And now I wonder if I have made microexpressions separate from regular expressions if that would have changed things. Also, do regular expressions really equate to inconsistencies in emotion?

I ranked these entirely differently in my mind than what the poll shows, so now I am curious what the truth really is! Which clue is the biggest clue for me when spotting deception? We’ll have to tally it up. Any volunteers?
