Behavior analysis is used in many disciplines such as psychology, special education, and law. Similarly, behavior analysis is important in human intelligence (humint) (Hartwig et al., 2014; Pavlich, 2017). Being able to read nonverbal behaviors may provide the opportunity to see the other party's intentions, hidings, and possible moves. This technique can be used in many areas, such as the behavior of agents or informants, the behaviors of individuals in critical areas such as airports, and changes in the other party's emotions (Inbau et al., 2015). Nonverbal behavior analysis must be databased and reliable (Turvey, 2011). Nonverbal behaviors are behaviors other than verbal expressions, such as facial expressions, body movements, voice, interpersonal space, and eye movements (Knapp et al., 2013). When the literature was examined, no study was found on how nonverbal behavior analysis should be done in intelligence processes. Therefore, this study aims to address how nonverbal behavior analysis should be done. For this purpose, a literature review is conducted in the study by adopting a narrative review (Chaney, 2021). The findings obtained as a result of the literature review are addressed in six categories as the stages of the nonverbal behavior analysis process: “determining the target behavior, collecting data on the relevant behavior, writing hypothesis(s), analyzing the data, testing the hypothesis(s), and making a decision”. When these stages are carried out carefully, important information may be obtained from the person with whom the data is collected. In addition, the negative effect of the possibility of analyst errors, especially during the data collection stage, on the interpretation of nonverbal behavior is also discussed. As a result, the importance of carrying out nonverbal behavior analysis by considering scientific stages is emphasized.
