Humans have been trying to master lie detection for thousands of years — and failing miserably.

In fact, polygraphs aren’t reliable. With as little as 15 minutes of training, people have been able to consistently beat the test.

The U.S. National Academy of Sciences has even said that “the Federal government should not rely on polygraph examinations for screening prospective or current employees, or to identify spies or other national security risks because the test results are too inaccurate.”

So is there any way to detect lies based on real science? Actually, yes, and it involves understanding the psychology behind how liars think.

How to tell when someone is lying—and get the truth out of them

In 2009, the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group, or HIG, was formed by the federal government to develop new lie detection best practices, and by 2016, the interagency group had spent more than $15 million on over 100 research projects with top psychologists.

So what do people who are incredibly good at catching liars on the spot do?

    There are certainly ways to test if someone is lying or not- for instance if they seem to be making up the story as they go along or if the story keeps changing, then chances are they are lying

      I agree, but some people are expert liars who don’t make those mistakes. Thanks for your comment!
