Subtle Expression Recognition Training Review of Humintell’s SubX Professional

I have great news for those of us who study facial expressions in real life scenarios.

Here is what is said on the Humintell’s website, “Recent research suggests that learning subtle expressions may be especially important for people who want to get better at detecting deception.

“Learning to be able to identify subtle expressions and microexpressions could improve your ability to detect deception beyond what you might be able to do by chance – to an accuracy rate of 70% or more.”

Subtle Expressions occur when an emotion is first beginning. They also occur when someone is trying to suppress any sign of how they are feeling.

I used the old SETT program that was available via CD-ROM and I was good at detecting subtle expressions, but it wasn’t until doing the online training with the SubX Professional that something just clicked and I can more easily detect subtle expressions in everyday life.

The key is in the delicate differences of subtle expressions from each of the core emotions and their expressions. There are several distinct ways a person could show subtle sadness and it always doesn’t equal just a half version of the full micro expression of sadness.

Every couple of minutes I am rewarded with even clearer understanding of people’s feelings thereby understanding them more- and this is with years of subtle expression training under my belt. It is a testament to how well the training works and translates to the real world.

I have personally spent over 3 ½ hours using the training program in the last month or so and just recently went from being certified as ‘proficient’ to an ‘expert’ (on the fastest speed) and the founder of the company Dr. David Matsumoto, said on Twitter even he can’t get 100%.

As Paul Hogan said in Crocodile Dundee, “...now that’s a knife.”

I can now say, “Now that is a training tool!”
