Draw me the truth, nothing but the truth…

…and the whole truth.

The latest in lie detection: don’t tell me what happened – draw it!

During a research study conducted by Aldert Vrij, two recurring aspects helped to distinguish liars from those telling the truth after a certain event took place:
1. The liars, drawing an imaginary place to help them with their fib, also forgot to include a key player who was knowingly present at the event. This was a huge giveaway, and it alone helped identifying 87% of this group correctly.
2. In addition, an overwhelming majority (81%) of the liars also drew the event from a removed birds-eye view, compared to only 41% of truth tellers.

Could this be the/a new lie detection tool?
