There are many different ways to tell if someone is lying. A person who shuffles around while talking (i.e. shuffling their hands, swaying back and forth) is most likely not telling the truth. If you notice a person looking to the right often, they are probably lying, as they are using the right part of their brain to create a story a.k.a. their lie. When accused, a guilty person will attempt to convince you of their innocence at every oppurtunity. This is not a sure fire way to find a liar, but it is an option to consider. Finally, liars will often use longer sentences than those telling the truth, which ties in to the convincing idea. A truthful story will be short and sweet, where as a lie will be long, drawn out, and overdetailed.

There are many ways to tell if a person is right-handed or left handed. One previously mentioned is wherever you see a callus on the last knuckle of the middle or ring finger, this is where the person rests his/her pencil when writing. Another method I to observe on what side a person keeps his/her phone or wallet, as they will most always be on the dominant side for simpler access. Hand positions can be an even more obvious indicator. When a person crosses his/her arms, the dominant arm will usually be the arm wrapped under the other. When holding his/her hands together either in front or behind him/herself the dominant hand will usually be placed in the less dominant one. These both occur due to the natural instinct to "support" the less dominant hand with the more dominant one. Lastly, when a person claps, they will almost always clap into his/her less dominant hand, i.e the palm of his/her less dominant hand will be more angled toward him/herself than the dominant hand.

Calluses are another easily identifiable abnormality that you can use to your advantage. You can tell what hand is someone's dominant hand by a callus found on the last knuckle of the middle or ring finger on the dominant hand. This is where the person rests his/her pencil when writing. Calluses on the fingertips of the left hand mean the person plays right-handed guitar, and calluses on the right hand mean the opposite. Calluses on the base of the pinky and ring fingers mean the peson may play a sport with a club or racquet (baseball, golf, tennis etc.). Finally, calluses on the sides of the ring finger, middle finger, and thumb mean the person is most likely is a bowler.

You can tell a lot about a person by their shoes. Clean and unworn shoes are likely new or rarely used. If they are clean but worn, the person either wears them only indoors or simply takes care of them. If they are sneakers they could be running shoes. If a name is written on the inside, they most likely belong to a child. If just the toe of the shoe is worn, the person likely drags their feet. If a shoe is dirty everywhere but on the sides, this means he/she walked through wet grass. If there are defined wrinkles on the heel counter the person is probably lazy, as he/she kicks the shoe off without untying it and then tries to slip the shoe on without untying the laces first.

Hello and welcome to my new website! This is where I will post all of your ideas and tips about the science of deduction. I want to give credit to tumblr's "A Guide to Deduction" as it provided me with the inspiration for this website. While the tumblr definately has some good information, I felt like it was hard to use and look at everything, and I plan on keeping a more organized database on this site. I will begin by posting some deductive tips on my own, but like I have stated before, I need your help to make this website a success. Remember to email me at [email protected] with your deduction tips, and I will be sure to add them to the website. Be sure to give me your name if you want credit for your tip. Enjoy!
