BIA’s Behavioral Experts share tools originally developed for maximizing objectivity in assessing interviews in the intelligence world where minimizing the impact of personal prejudice, language and cultural differences is critical.

BIA’s proprietary Tactical Behavior Assessment methodology was derived from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and is used to identify language and behavioral cues that indicate when an individual isn’t being entirely candid.
