Quickly read, analyze, and interpret body language
2019-01-11
[PoliceOne.com - Jan 30 2014] I came up with five categories of general behavior ‐ it is not a total list of all behaviors, but rather, a list of general behavior ‐ to look for during an interview or interrogation.

When I began teaching others about body language, I would spend at least eight hours of classroom time on different types of gestures found in body language and their possible interpretations. After the instruction, we would watch videos of interviews, interrogations, and people communicating.

The goal was to put to use the information about body language we’d been discussing. The problem we encountered was there was too much information to remember and put into practice so soon after the instruction. Seeing the difficulty the students were having watching the videos while searching through the material to make an interpretation of the kinesics, I needed to come up with something that would help them get organized.

#1  The best liar I ever met could tell someone a damaging truth and at the same time give the impression to the other that a lie was being told. That is a step beyond the thinking in this article.
The absolute best training I ever had was as a 3rd year medical student interviewing real patients on video tape. Immediate playback & critique along the lines of "what were you thinking?" followed. Our esteemed professors were the first interviewers, to demonstrate the process. To their credit, they too were interviewing patients they were completely unfamiliar with.
Practice makes perfect.
