Last time in the article “How to recognize a lie. Part 1" we discussed what images a person concentrates on when looking in a certain direction. Just in case, I remind you of the diagram: We have decided that a person most likely lies when looking up to the right and horizontally to the right, and it is possible to lie when looking horizontally to the left and down to the left. But this is also not a sure-fire option. People are creatures much more complex than some kind of scheme. Therefore, testing questions are needed to determine whether this particular person is really coming up with what to say next (i.e., possibly lying) while looking horizontally to the right, or whether this is just a feature of him, or whether something to the right has attracted his attention. There are blocks of test questions for looking in each direction. I suggest you practice: ask these questions to your interlocutor (of course, warning him that you are conducting some kind of experiment) and carefully observe where his gaze will be directed. Block No. 1 What color is your toothbrush? How many doors are there in your house? What color is your boss's hair? Who was the first person you saw today? What color is the traffic light above - red or green? Note to yourself: your partner's eyes most likely went up and to the left (from his point of view, not yours). Block #2 Imagine that the front door of your house is painted pink with green polka dots. Imagine a cow that is purple. Describe how you would see yourself on the TV screen. Imagine that you have lost 10 kg. Imagine that you have purple hair. Most likely , the interlocutor's gaze is directed upward and to the right. Block No. 3 How many times do you hear the word “lamb” in the sentence “Mary had a lamb”? Hear your mother calling you. Hear the chalk creaking when they write on the board. Hear your alarm clock ringing. Hear the waves roar. B In response to these questions, your partner’s eyes went horizontally to the left. Block No. 4 Which hand is warmer - your left or your right? How do you feel now? How do you feel if you bite your tongue? Remember how you felt when you kissed for the first time? Describe how you felt when you overate? Most likely , your partner's eyes dropped down to the right. Block No. 5 Ask yourself what you need to do next week? Discuss with yourself your plans for the next month. Tell yourself about how wonderful you are. Think about the funniest episode last year. Tell yourself about what you especially surprised. Your interlocutor's eyes will probably move down and to the left. If your interlocutor looks where the diagram suggests, then you can safely use this scheme in relation to this particular person. All that remains is to observe where he looks when he answers this or that question. If the scheme does not fit (for example, he is left-handed, or a person who thinks outside the box), then you will have to repeat such an experiment and carefully monitor (and you can then write down) where your interlocutor is looking when he answers questions from different blocks. In any case, it won't be boring!
