This One Strategy Will Reveal if Someone's Lying With 80% Accuracy, Study Finds

[Warpy]

To spot a liar, ignore everything except the level of detail in a person's story, new research suggests.

If a person provides rich descriptions of who, what, when, how, and why, it's likely they are telling the truth. If they skim over these details, they are probably lying.

Using this very simple test and nothing else, people can separate truth from lies with nearly 80 percent accuracy, researchers from the University of Amsterdam have found.

I've used this one forever. If people can't answer a simple when or where question, you know it's some lie they either half heard or picked up on Fakebook and then it's OK to ask them, "Where did you hear a stupid thing like that?" which totally wrong foots them and causes them to reboot.
