Human Lie Detector: The #1 Sign They’re Lying To You, Catch Liars Instantly! | Dr Leanne ten Brinke
Dr. Leanne ten Brinke joins Steven Bartlett to discuss how to detect lies and spot people with dark personality traits like psychopathy and narcissism.
The gist
-
Liars give fewer details when caught off-guard, so asking open-ended follow-up questions like 'tell me more' exposes inconsistencies.
-
Eye contact is a myth as a lie detector. Focus instead on whether the details someone gives can actually be verified.
-
Putting rules in writing, such as workplace policies, makes people with psychopathic traits more likely to follow them.
-
Confusing confidence with competence is a common mistake. Narcissists often seem impressive early but underperform over time.
