Pushing,Īnd shoving, giggling at one another. The bell rang and all of the children went to their classes. Still shone through, bringing life into the empty classrooms, and voices in the Chalkboards almost as white as the walls, yet, the sun Classrooms were bare and boring walls reek Its halls were long and narrow, the lights were dim.ĭoors were of dark splicing wood. So you see, the way of deducing someone isn't simply by one observation, but associated with a cluster of "clues" that can help you along the way and be a better detective.īleak, and cold place. Remember that the next time someone touches their nose.

Sorry if you thought I was lying, I just simply have a habit of touching my nose. The common "Someones lying if they touch their nose" is quite funny. Detecting if someone is lying is actually quite harder to do than most people believe. If she's just simply nervous, she will blink excessively, fidget, play with her hair, or a close object, (pen, cup, keys, etc.) or tend to have a shakier voice. But watch closely, and also how she's talking. This is the body sometimes saying "Maybe if I can't what I'm lying to it will make me feel better" this is associated with excessive movement of the lower body, the repeat up and down or side by side motion of the feet and legs, and or excessive touching of the face and hair. See, sometimes when a person is lying, they tend to blink ever so often and hold their eyes closed for longer than a normal blink. Whoops.Īnother example is the first deduction skill I mentioned here:įirst off, we need to look for clusters, or other "clues" as to why the person may be blinking rapidly or closing their eyes, watch them, if you are talking to them and they continue to do so throughout the conversation, they may perhaps be telling you a lie, or are just nervous about the dinner with the Boss tonight. And by putting together clusters we can find a better way to theorize a persons behaviour, because at some times, when a person is becoming hostile, or angry, they usually begin by putting arms at the side, and beginning to make a light fist. We weren't told to look for facial expressions, how he might be walking, or just in general the whole way the man was about. Aha! a dancer, an Irish dancer, oh no wait he's putting his arm out, he's punching that other man! Why so? We deduced too quickly and theorized before all the evidence was found. You see this man, and he is walking around, talking to someone, his arms at his sides, fingers curled into a light fist. With this example I will give an example of what I am trying to explain by clustering. See, the problem with this is that the person before taking this advice didn't know that we have to use our deduction skills a bit further. Well, that might be so unless he punches someone in the face. "If you see someone who keeps their arms straight at their sides, with fingers curled into a light fist, it is likely they have studied some variation of an Irish step dance or river dance"Īh, a dancer.


What I mean by clustering is that when a person does something with his or her body movements a certain way, doesn't necessarily mean that it is something specific.you have to look for other things the person is giving off. But what the author of these skills does not tell the reader is that they need to look for clusters before deducing, as Sherlock says, It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. "If a person blinks rapidly or holds their eyes closed for a few seconds, its likely they have contacts and are getting dry."įirst off yes, it is true at times, because I wear contacts and tend to do this often enough. For an example of one I seen on pinterest Some of these skills I have come across about human behaviour are simply erratic or irrelevant. I have always been able to see through people even before learning skills from Sherlock Holmes. For myself, I know a lot more about human behaviour than most other deduction skills. A few are interesting but I have to say, some of them are upsetting to me. I have seen a lot of other blogs, and people making guides to deduction.
