The series of lies is one of the frequent reasons for estrangements and ruptures in any type of relationship. Also, if there was a very strong relationship or deception was important, the disappointment may be irreversible.

To anticipate that feeling and avoid frustration, psychologist Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire developed a simple test that provides accurate information.

As a note from Mendoza Post explains, it consists of asking the person we distrust write on his forehead with your finger (imaginative) or with an easy-to-erase pencil the capital letter Q.

How to spot someone who lies?

If the stick of letters is tilted to the left, it means that the person is very worried about approval or what others are saying and therefore tends to lie.

If, on the other hand, the trait is on the right, it is someone who does not tolerate lies or gets carried away by the opinions of others.

While a close relationship is required to implement this method, it can be adapted and tested with handwritten text.

why people lie

A note from the site El Prado Psicólogos cites a study by the University of Massachusetts which states that 60% of people lie at least once during a ten minute conversation. According to that source, those are the “sporadic lies.”

However, compulsive lying has another background. For those with this attitude, lying becomes a habit and a way of relating.

The roots of this personality disorder go back to childhood. It can occur due to a lack of self-esteem or having received a severe punishment.
