I have decided to start a series of posts called Seemingly Useless Skills which will feature a skill that is not common but practical for everyday people in everyday life.
No one likes to be lied to (although sometimes we are probably better off not knowing the truth). At times, it is crucial that we know the truth. The first of this series will be a short guide on how to spot a liar.Being no expert myself, I have found an excellent info-graphic that explains the principles to lie detecting.

There are plenty of dangerously skilled liars. Most of the time we're just trying to be nice. Women are more likely to lie to make other people feel good, while men tend to lie to make themselves look better.
Liars often give short or one-word responses to questions, while truth tellers are more likely to flesh out their answers. A liar provides fewer details and uses fewer words than an honest person, and talks for a smaller percentage of the conversation.
