The Behavioral Table of Elements (2022 Version)
Download Here-
The table is laid out in a way that the user can profile behavior by region of the body, gesture type, stress-level and deception-likelihood. Even variable factors like temperature, interrogator behavior and attitude toward interrogator can be factored in to create reliable results for use in any culture, country or situation.
-
It resembles the periodic table of elements because of its familiarity and easy-to-learn format.
-
We will start the tour by looking at the key, and examining what each cell has to offer.

Hover Over for Information
-
The interactive version of the Table comes in Microsoft Excel format.
-
Hovering over any cell describes each behavior and its associated interpretation.
-
The Table becomes an interactive training and analysis tool IMMEDIATELY.
The Cells
-
-
Within each cell, several factors and amplifying data are presented to either be analyzed alone, or compared with other behaviors within the structure of an interaction.
-
Conflicting Behaviors tell us that the gesture may not conform to the typically accepted translation of the meaning of the gesture or behavior.
-
Sexual propensity means that either the behavior is universal, or is more common among men or women.
-
Confirming gestures (found elsewhere on the table) amplify the commonly accepted translation of the behavior.
-
Amplifying gestures (found elsewhere on the table) give us more data and also add weight to the confirmation above.
-
Color Coding
-
Each behavior is further categorized by a color code.
-
If, for example, you saw a red (deceptive) behavior mixed with a red-letter-only behavior, it would increase the deception rating to an automatic 4.
-
The variable behaviors, shown in blue, indicate what can be read or translated on a sliding or variable scale.
-
Green colors are the most relaxed and solid red behaviors are indicative of the most stressful on the scale.
Stress Continuum
-
From left-to-right, stress increases. The deception likelihood also increases as you move right.
