Spy the Lie: Former CIA Officers Teach How to Detect Deception

This was a very interesting read. They teach you a lot of the techniques they use in interviews and interrogations (no, not torture techniques), like how to ask open-ended questions, and questions that somehow get people to reveal things they didn't intend to reveal, then what to look for when the person answers, and how to apply it to every day situations. The best part is at the end they give a lost of specific questions to ask for specific situations. Say you're interviewing potential babysitter - they give you a bunch of questions to ask along with what they teach about detecting lies.

Would highly recommend reading Spy the Lie, a book written by a few former CIA interrogators, if I remember correctly.

Basically, this book teaches a method of detecting lies by using a cluster rule. By noticing certain "flags," you can determine the likelihood of deception by getting a cluster of 3 or more of these flags. It also teaches some methods of interrogating potential liars. One very important thing is teaches is that in order to do this it is important to not blatantly accuse the defendant of lying.

For example, using the phrase "is there any reason someone might tell me you did XXX ?" as opposed to just saying "did you XXX?" Not only does this potentially raise another flag (significant pause before replying) but it could plant doubt into the defendant that someone may have already informed you of their antics.

That's just one of many example, the book is pure gold imo.

The Intel community has moved on from these detectors.

I'd recommend reading Spy the Lie: Former CIA Officers Teach You How to Detect Deception.

It goes into the details of indicators, how to ignore biases and understand chaining patterns.

I was writing about Phil Houston, an ex-CIA employee who was paid by the CIA to develop software to detect deceptive responses. I think the man is as flaky as the MK Ultra and the Men Who Stare At Goats guys. Form your own opinion.

If you would like some true information regarding the CIA's ability to detect deception watch the documentary Taxi To the Dark Side.

I read those when I began my journey down the CID rabbit hole. I also read 100 Deadly Skills, which was not directly related, but fun to keep in the back of the head.

Lying is a staple tool in a Narcissists toolbox, so learning to detect someone who lies a lot will usually tip you off to a Narcissist. This is a fantastic book about detecting lies:
