Q. How do psychiatrists do at identifying liars? A. No better than college freshmen. Close to chance

I found this tidbit interesting.

A. Yes, the Secret Service. Many of the agents we studied were accurate 80 percent of the time in distinguishing lying from truthfulness.

They would be right more than 80 percent if they had just said "lying" all the time with this vile pair:

"...In a fake smile, only the zygomatic major muscle, which runs from the cheekbone to the corner of the lips, moves. In a real smile, the eyebrows and the skin between the upper eyelid and the eyebrow come down very slightly..."

I'm solid at recognizing when someone's lying to me,but I never thought you could effectively tell a fake smile from a real one.I really have to check into that one.
