Test: Test Your Lie-Q | Liespotting

Most people are no better than chimpanzees at detecting lies. Since we hear as many as 200 lies a day, we live with a hidden problem most of us are unaware of. With training in the fundamentals of deception detection, we can significantly improve our liespotting skills. How much do you know about liespotting? Before you step into real-world situations that demand watchful eyes and ears, test your knowledge with our Lie-Q quiz:

Question 12 sucked

 

[Kanra Jest]

10-11

satisfactory

reason I put 10-11 is because on one answer I was thinking they could either be twisting the question and thus only say parts of it or say the whole thing to buy themselves time.

Totally agree lol What did you answer to this one ?

Some quesrions were a tad vague or open to interpretation - agreed. It usually works out if you answer while assuming the test maker is an idiot incapable of nuanced thought

Well i dont want to spoil

Disgust. Though fear could work too.
Someone who says the "true form" of fear is "symetrical" has never been truly afraid.

Yes they were vague. Sending my Ti into over analysis to put out more variables than needed.

Question 12 sucked

Question 12 confused me.

A deceptive person will avoid direct eye contact with you when asked a question:

i have asperger's, sharon


False. Perhaps the biggest myth about liars is that they avoid direct eye contact. The reality is that many liars engage in even more eye contact than the average person, because they know it will help them “sell” their story. take pride in their ability to maintain eye contact. In a study about deceit by psychologist Ralph Exline, lying subjects who described themselves as “high Machiavellians” reveled in staring contests with their accusers.

OH NICE

Well the thing with this question is that a 'good liar' will look you in the eye. yes.
But we've all seen kids, cheating girlfriends and teachers trying to justify your grade by something else than 'I don't like you' acting evasive and not looking ppl in the eyes when lying. So while I 'understood' what they meant it seems a bit too 'black and white'.

I've looked at people in the eyes while lying. It worked very well

My normal mode is not looking at people in the eyes because it's flat out distracting when I want to get a point across. It makes people distrust me even though all of these ought to be highly context specific.

For example, astute teachers often observe that a student with autism "looks out the window all the time, just doesn't appear to be paying attention at all, but then can tell me everything I said." It appears likely that the described student has difficulty with coordinating listening and looking behaviors and, perhaps, with receiving and processing information coming in from multiple sensory channels. Insisting that he make eye contact might well render him unable to take in and store auditory input. Or... he may be able to coordinate looking and listening in some situations but not in others. Should We Insist on Eye Contact with People who have Autism Spectrum Disorders

...nooooo typoc stop doubleposting ;_;

Yeah, that just seems like a teacher unwilling to accept that his course might be boring as fuck to some people.

WHAT?

the whole 'repeating what the teacher said word for word' despite doing something else would happen to me regularly throughout my education. I was just bored out of my mind, it wasn't some brain dysfunction.

Very insightful.

17 out of 18 (94.44) and only because I misread the first question. Doh!

 

[FemMecha]

I got 13 out of 18, but it does sound like a quiz made by an undergrad taking a psychology class. It is very textbook in conception. In my life experience I would say that the manner in which people lie is varied. The presence or absence of emotion is one great example. Some people lie with an air of objectivity and show no emotions. Others bawl their eyes out in complete fake expression. Others provide nuanced and complex expression of emotion. Vocal nuance is similarly varied in the expression of falsehood.

Except for standard fraud tactics used by scam artists, I typically need to get a baseline reading of the person before I can tell if they are lying. One principle I tend to use is observing certain kinds of inconsistencies and words and behaviors going between extreme states, but that also takes a lot of time and observation to detect. I think lying is as varied as any other form of communication.
