Mode of work & where I`ve been

So. I`ve been practicing for some time and I`m overall satisfied with how I`m doing. I`ve gotten way better at body language. Now I can deduce people I know and overall deduce better. I`ve found that I can get a decently hard deduction sometimes, people`s occupation. That, just very loosely.

I haven`t written here because I went on a kayak race and had a little break after.

I`ve been doing these deductions for around a month. What I am good at is getting people`s: income, primary hand and age, also IF they`re a tourist or not, also some cues from body language: who they like, don`t like maybe even if they`re lying or not. I`m still having some trouble in observation but practice makes perfect. Wait, let me correct myself. Practice makes conscistent, not perfect. I also found the subreddit: r/deduction. They post things you can deduce. I couldn`t really deduce them because they`re usually too high level for me.

How I work:

Basically how I learnt to deduce from different videos and such: I look at the shoes first, look for some different mud or something unusual, go up to the knees, could have some grass stains or some other kind of unusual thing, go up to the hands, look for a ring, something under the fingernails, really anything unusual, proceed up to the shoulders, check for something and then look at the whole jacket if there is one, finally going up to the face and from the wrinkles and such determine te age and charisma, lastly go over the whole body again, check out the clothes` age and usedness and move on to the body laguage part. You can do the body language first of course. Do the same bottom to top approach and you are set and ready to get the data you collected into theories. You can find how to do that in one of my previous posts.

Essay on Patrick Jane (spoilers)

Introduction. Patrick Jane is the main protagonist in the 2000's American TV show "The Mentalist" portrayed by Simon Baker. Patrick Jane is the main protagonist on the show, and with a surprisingly the least morals on the team of protagonists. We'll get to these later. Patrick Jane works in the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), but later works for the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). Both as a consultant. Before that, he was a professional mentalist that faked psychic powers to get money out of people. Powers and abilities. Patrick Jane possesses a powerful mental prowess. He is a master of tactics and people, especially knowing them. His observational skills are absolutely exceptional. I myself, am a deductionist/mentalist, so I know about how this works. His observational skills are at the level of the legendary deductionist Sherlock Holmes. I'd even bother to say that Patrick Jane was a better Sherlock Holmes than the Benedict Cumberbatch inc

Intuition & deduction

Intuition. It's a thing that, if trained generally helps you with getting to know people. Also, looking through them. I'm currently working on the latter. Intuition is nothing that is like deduction, more like guessing. Very good guessing. In the show The Mentalist the protagonist, Patrick Jane uses his power of guesswork? He uses what is called intuition and a fair bit of deduction. We'll get to that later. Now intuition is something that is quite trainable. I'm on the road of training it. Intuition is something that works subconsciously. You look at a person and it just happens. People often confuse intuition and deduction with presumption, and that is often thought of as "being racist". This slides into the social dilemma of deduction, that I'm probabli going to do an entry on. How intuition works It basically works like this: You look at a person that is wearing very vibrant coloured clothes. A natural reaction in your brain is "This person mus

Recent experiences

A few days ago I saw a person that looked interesting to me, and because everyone on the internet was saying to me that I should practice, I started deducing and I didn`t get so much. I found out from attire that he must have been doing something sporty. He had his left hand in his pocket so he left his right, dominant hand to do something else. Lastly, he had some mud on his socks. That meant that he came there with a bike. NOT that it was an older sock because it rained that day. Also, I`ve been watching a lot of youtube on this topic. I also read an essay too from a young woman around my age. One of those youtube videos taught me how to observe a person. Starting from the shoes, going up to the knees then up to the jacket and it`s shoulders, back to the hands and lastly, the face. Then you simply run over the whole person again, from the data you gathered, create three or so theories and from those 1 greater picture of the person. I practice almost everyday but in passing deduction
