How Did Psychologists Spot Lies Before the Invention of the Polygraph?

Did you know that in 1904, long before the polygraph machine was invented, psychologists could detect lies using just a stopwatch? This time, we travel back to the 19th century to explore how Carl Jung turned a simple "Word Association Test" into a deadly effective mind-reading technique. We will uncover how the "Response Latency" — that split-second hesitation — betrays the deepest secrets hidden in your subconscious. Join me in this psychological experiment to see if you can hide your own "Complexes." References & Sources: * Jung, C. G. (1904). Studies in Word-Association. * Galton, F. (1879).
