have you ever noticed eye movements?

have you ever noticed that people's eyes move to different directions when being asked a question? research results showed that there is a connection between the way someone is thinking and the direction that his eye moves to. the six possible directions that the eye could go to when someone thinks are upper right ,upper left, middle right , middle left , lower right and lower left .

each direction represents something that is currently taking place inside the mind. for a right handed person whom is facing you the follwing is an illustration of what does the different eye movements means (Note the following directions are describing the eye positions of someone who is facing you):

NLP, eye accessing cues

• upper left ,visual construction (VC) : the person looking into that direction is constructing the image of a visual scene, the person's eye could go to this direction when asked about the color of his dream car
• upper right , visual remembering (VR) : the person looking into that direction is remembering the image of a visual scene, that's the direction someone could look to when asked about the color of his car
• middle left, auditory construction (AC) : the person looking into that direction is constructing a sound , that's the direction the person's eye could go to when asked a question like "what do you think he will tell you when you meet him tomorrow ?"
• middle Right , auditory remembering (AR) : the person looking into that direction is remembering a sound , that's the direction the person's eye could go to when asked about what someone told him yesterday
• lower left Kinesthetic (k) :this is the direction someone's eye go to when he is accessing his feelings, that's the direction his eyes could go to when asked somthing like "how did it feel to fail that exam?"
• lower right ,auditory digital (AD) : this is the direction someone's eye go to when he is talking to himself.

eye accessing cues and liar detection

know that this can be very useful to know if someone is telling the truth or lying, asking someone about the color of his car should let his eyes move to the upper right (visual remembering ) , if it did go to the visual construction instead, then he may be constructing instead of remembering and the truth may be that he does not have a car at all. the same goes when you ask someone about what did another person tell him yesterday, the AR direction may show that he is remembering and the AC direction may show that he is lying .

CAUTION: note that using such a method for detecting whether someone is lying or not is very risky, there are some things you should be aware of if you are going to use such a method.below is a list of guidelines you should stick to if you have to use this method for "liar detection" else you will find everyone around a liar!!:

• if the person is left handed then the directions should be reversed, just mirror the six directions to the other side, if you don't know if the person is right or left handed you can ask him a question that you previously know its answer just to notice where will his eyes go, and by doing so you will know the direction he uses for remembering and the other direction will be the one he uses for construction,you could then ask him the other question you want to know and notice if his eyes will go in a different direction the the one it went to when you asked him the first question.
• if the the person was trying to remember somthing that was recently recalled then his eyes may not go to any direction and just stay in the middle
• some people tend to remember by focusing and refocusing without having their eye move into any direction, you cant do anything in that case
• the mind is a superior device with hundreds of thoughts going in and out at a time, many thoughts could run into the mind in one second and so the eye may move into any direction depending on one of these thoughts giving you false clues, and since you cant read the other person's thoughts you can get false results
