CIA’s Interrogation Secrets | How to Spot Subtle Signs of Deception #shorts #bodylanguage

So, when a person is being deceptive,

they will use typically use less

pronouns. So, if I said, "Lisa, what did

you do last night?" You'd probably walk

me through, "Well, I had dinner. I

watched a movie. If I checked some

emails, washed my face, got I got into

bed, and I set my alarm clock, and I

went to sleep." Uh, if I ask somebody

who's being deceptive, like, let's say I

asked some guy in an interview room,

"What did you do Wednesday night?" and

he says, "Well, left the office, checked

some emails, left the office around

5:00, went to the liquor store, went

home, played video games, went to bed."

No pronouns. There's no I, there's no

me, none of that. Dr. Pennaker wrote a

book called The Secret Life of Pronouns

and how they become absent when

somebody's being more deceptive. But the

CIA has been teaching this for a while.

So, you heard the pronouns drop. And

that whole conversation, she was fluent

exactly like both of us are speaking

right now. That he wasn't struggling for

words. Everything just kind of came out

naturally. And then he said, "Tell me

about last night. What all happened last

night?" And she was like, then the

pronouns went away and she had what's

called a hesitancy and a loss of verbal

fluency.
