Four Domains

• Weigh what they say
• Watch what they actually do
• Read what they feel
• Test how aligned they stay

Build Baseline

• Observe behavior in low-pressure situations
• Watch how they treat the powerless
• Note language, tone, and rhythm
• Establish normal before testing anything

Read Language

• Compare vague answers against specific ones
• Flag overused qualifiers and fillers
• Track stories that shift or lack detail
• Question accounts that change over time

Read The Body

• Catch microexpressions under one second
• Study the eyes, not the mouth
• Note fidgeting, grooming, and shielding
• Mark changes when topics shift

Test Pressure

• Introduce stress and watch the response
• Give responsibility and check follow-through
• Create conflict and observe their handling
• Offer opportunity and watch their choices

Social Dynamics

• Identify their role in group settings
• Observe how others respond to them
• Detect influence, respect, or fear
• Watch empathy versus indifference toward others

Spot Red Flags

• Distrust stories that keep changing
• Note avoided eye contact under questioning
• Flag defensiveness disproportionate to the topic
• Mark cruelty toward those without power

Check Consistency

• Align stated values against real actions
• Compare reactions across similar situations
• Watch behavior when no one rewards it
• Trust patterns over single impressions
