Pinocchio had it rough — a telescoping nose is hard to hide. But human liars give off telltale signs, too.

  • Watch the eyes. A liar's eyes may dart, dilate, rise, or refuse to make contact.

  • Throat clearing, foot tapping, and raised shoulders are also cause for suspicion.

  • Large people often pull in the chest and shoulder areas when they're lying.

  • Whatever the revealing gesture, people tend to do it at the very moment they are fibbing. Watch what a person does when you know she's telling the truth to identify unusual behavior when she's not.
