Honesty Score – Hints

 

Honesty – Hints & Checkpoints

ETC Honesty Score – Test is the combination of science, technology, and personal observation to figure out who is lying!

Based on microexpressions, blink and attention rates, signs, clues, reactions, indexes. Critical success factors to identify patterns in the interview (video). The unique combination of science and the art of observation with intuition generates excellent results. (ChP – Checkpoint).

 

The primary evaluation process are sessions  with the potential Candidate. It is critical to establish rapport and a relaxed atmosphere in the first part of the interview to record Emotions, Blink & Attention rates, used as a baseline/ benchmark.

To fine tune a proper evaluation for each Question, you need to study and sometimes check the Video Interview and use facts, hard data, and your Intuition to generate a Lying Score and conclusions.

 

Set of Points to Evaluate

It is essential to establish a Behavioral Baseline to evaluate Checkpoints properly:

> Try to build a Calm and Rational conversation

So the person can concentrate on what you are trying to say without feeling attacked. Is a discussion not a confrontation. You are not competing; you are trying to know the truth.

 

> Approach the potential Lyier with specific Questions

The Incident video session of the conversation for analysis. Questions are prepared in advance and segmented by the type of Job.

 

> Talk to the person in private

Do it in public can be very harsh and embarrass for the lier and will become defense!

 

> Document instances of Lying

Keep a record of situations and details to reach better conclusions.

 

Face & Eyes Expressions

1. Conflicting “Emotions” suggest Lying

 

Microexpressions flash on a person ́s face for a fraction of a second and show us real emotions.

Visual Lying Detector video recognition technology, record, and check every 4/100 ́s of a second, micro expressions and extract emotions (6) at the Question Level.

People telling the truth aligned their thoughts and emotions — individuals lying express distress in their micro-expressions such as Anger, Disgust & Fear.

ETC Method: Evaluate the “Emotions Chart” in the Interpretation module at the Question level to find deception signs.

2. Blinking & Attention Rates is a sign of Lying

Normal blink rate: between 6 to 8 times per minute and eyes remain closed each time for one 40th of a second. (one 40th of a second)

When you lie you use more energy because your brain is creating the new reality – High Blink rate is a common sign of lying.

Micro Expressions & Emotions Checkpoints

 

Emotions Chart:

Is a “State of the Art” – Visual Intelligence and Human Analytics technology developed under a Scientific process based on 49 facial feature points that are identified every 4/100 ́s of a second in the video analysis and these points return results levels in 6 basic emotions:

The six basic microexpressions constitute the following:

 

 

Anger

The micro-expression of anger concentrates in the upper part of the face, where we go down and put our brows together with frowning brows. The mouth we tend to tighten and tighten, slightly separating the lips and clenching the teeth.

A gesture of anger is to point your chin forward defiantly

 

Fear

This micro-expression is characterized by tense eyebrows and wide-open eyes to visualize everything we can of our visual field since we perceive danger somewhere.

The lower section of the face the jaw is loose, constituting a behavior also instinctive to allow us to scream and take oxygen.

 

Joy

The joy shows with slanted eyes and wrinkles on the outer ends and lower eyelids — a trick: when a person pretends happiness those wrinkles do not form. We will also show the characteristic smile, which the happier we feel, the more we will open until we show our teeth.

 

Surprise

It appers by raised and arched eyebrows with wide eyes. In the lower section of your face, the jaw is loose, and the mouth is open.

“In a conversation body language is much more important than verbal and through body language is given a lot of information that we do not say and rarely observe.”

 

Sadness

Probably is the most complex microexpressions of pretending. It is characterized by low eyebrows that meet subtly in the center. The mouth usually arches it down.

 

Disgust

This expression is one of the easiest to identify since all the emotion concentrates between the mouth and the nose. The nose wrinkles and the upper lip rises, often leaving the upper teeth visible. We also show it in personal relationships when we feel disapproval or someone dislikes us.

 

 

Since these are very brief facial movements, it is difficult for the person to simulate them or, what is the same, to believe them intentionally. So these expressions are considered the most reliable way to discover the truth in a person.

Also, facial expressions are universal, so they apply to everyone equally regardless of their beliefs or customs.
