Step 1: Ask if the person is right-handed.
If yes:
Step 2: Ask him the normal interview question.
Step 3: When he answers the question, look at his eyes.
Step 4: As he begins to answer the question or in between, if his eye moves to the top left or to the middle left, then in all probability, he/she already prepared the answer for that question beforehand. If the eye moved top left, he/she has probably prepared a written script, and if middle left, then he/she has either recited the answer over and over again verbally or taken somebody's help who told the answer to be told.
When this method will work:
1. If the person is asked standard questions like 'tell me about yourself' or 'where do you see yourself in five years?' he/she will reply with answers that he/she has already learned by heart. If the interviewer sees that the person has learned these answers beforehand, then he can twist the question on purpose to cross-check or see how the person deals with ambiguity.
2. If the answers are more than one word or sentence. Results are best if the answer is in the form of a description. Any time the above-mentioned eye movements are observed, the interviewer can understand that the person is "creating" something.
When this method may not work:
1. If a person displays the above-mentioned eye movements in almost all answers, in this case, this shows that this person is most probably a creative person who has artistic ability to visualize.
2. If the person is left-handed. In this case, in the above-mentioned steps, substitute 'left' for 'right'.
General Instruction:
1. Left or Right is from the point of view of the person being interviewed.
2. Ensure that no visually distracting elements are present in the interviewing room.
This method is based on the principles of NLP and requires a lot of practice before mastery.

Mathew.

Hi Matthew,
Great, it opened my eyes as well!
Just a query... what happens if the candidate moves his eye to the top right or middle right? Can you explain/rationalize these eye movements? Maybe it's got to do with the connection of the eyeball with the brain?
Cheerio,
