6/10. I think a few of those people knew what they were doing and presented the tells of someone lying while they were telling the truth and vice versa.

Or maybe I just suck. Yeah, I'm going with the latter.

Shifty eyes, up to the left.
Too much random 'filler' information not directly related to the subject.
Length of pause and where they look during that pause.

Was easier than I thought. I wish there were more subjects to be tested on.

I did commission sales for a long time. Talked to literally thousands of people a year and a lot of them lie to you. After a while you get pretty good at spotting it.

The problem was they were told to lie or tell the truth. I think many people know the non-direct eye contact = liar.

This was set up for those that know that to be wrong.

If one just guessed or had no clue, they have a good chance to score well.

We don't even know if they are interviewed in their own environment or a setup one.

And when someone is instructed to lie, they would hence be more comfortable telling the lie making detection more difficult.

I thought I was crap cause I started 3/4 but then I practically guessed the rest of them correctly halfway through each video.

I answered all of the questions without even listening to the people speak. Got most of them correct.

10/10 but the nature of my past work and the success I had was determined by reading people properly.....it was truly life or death...

6/10 but I stopped one and couldn't get it to restart, so 6/9...

The supposed classic signs of lying are looking in one direction and repeating the question. Seems like everyone repeated the question. Enthusiasm was the biggest tell-all, I found. The liars had zero enthusiasm and were short on details.

LOL. Wrong place to post that. People around here are HORRIBLE at knowing truth from lies.

9/10. Halfway through I started calling them within the first ~15 seconds. The only one I missed was the blonde Beyonce loving girl; her facial expression at the start seemed exaggerated, she gave poor eye-contact, and her pauses seemed deliberate. Thinking about it, she's likely just a stupid blonde.

They shouldn't have let Asians participate; they were the most obvious. A terrible bunch of conniving liars, those people.

You should have quit after blonde.
