Dr. Morgan stated, "The MITT was developed for professionals primarily in the field of criminal justice.  My thirty-six years as a police officer, criminal investigator, polygraph examiner, anti-terrorism-force protection specialist and behavioral scientist tells me that the detection of deception is not an easy task.  On hundreds of occasions in my career I have been face to face with individuals determined to deceive me and candidly on occasion some were successful.  All we are able to do in defense of being deceived is to arm ourselves with all the tools available to us in order to see through the deception."

The MITT is based on the principle of “Projection”. Any time we communicate, either verbally or non-verbally, we are projecting ourselves to others.  We often very unconsciously project our feelings, thoughts and attitudes in the communicative process.  The MITT is designed to capsulize and capture, often very unconsciously, feelings, thoughts and attitudes of the person being interviewed.
