Are you a good Liar?

November 05 2014

Lying being a Hot Topic in the forums at the moment... I wondered how many of you felt like playing along with this little game I've copied and pasted from the net and sharing your results, and what you think of them with us all. I'll share mine later. .This weird trick could determine whether you or your friends are good liars. . As celebrity psychologist and possible magician Richard Wiseman explains in a video alongside this write-up that you can easily google... just extend the first finger on your dominant hand and, taking just five seconds, trace a capital Q on your forehead.(Waits five seconds)..... If you traced the tail of the Q on the left side of your forehead then that means you subliminally intended the letter to be legible for other people, meaning you are likely to be aware how others perceive you, are happy being the centre of attention and are probably a good liar. . However, if you drew the Q in a way so that the tail was on the right, so that you yourself could read it, then it means you are likely to be an introvert – and not very good at lying. . Of course, Richard Wiseman could just be lying about the whole thing….You tell me... Peachy

    ... I'm leaning towards thinking that there might be some truth in that, but I would have to test it further on some unsuspecting subjects ... you know ... just to be sure

    But in my experience…..Woman seem to have an inbuilt liar detector in them Some are quite attune to it and can tell easily when you are full of BullOthers are a bit more unconscious and they may feel like something is not quite right…..but not sure what. It does not matter if you are a master of it…..you always know (and some of us as well) So, try, practice, think whatever you want…..but the truth is out there

    Quoting 'Cuckle_shells' I was wondering if it made a difference being right or left handed.So it was right for me. So being ambidextrous, I tried it both ways. Believe it or not ... one hand formed the circle clockwise, whereas the other hand formed the circle anticlockwise - but the results were conclusive in that both tails fell to the same side.

    Kiwi... LOL, do return with your duly considered results won't you. . Sir... so, how's your Q hanging? . How do you feel about that Freya? Do you think it's accurate? xxx . No more X Files for you NoFuzz. Do tell if You're a good liar won't you. . Mmmph Ms Shells! Don't tease me... . And again Kiwi hehe... that's awesome to know, thanks. . I did post a thread a while ago that involved clasping your hands together... and depending on which thumb ended up on top... . If your left thumb is on top then the driving force in your life is the desire for affection and you are a great lover. Your dominant brain side is the right and you have an intuitive approach.. If your right thumb is on top then the driving force in your life is your intellect and you will most likely be financially secure in your life time. Your dominant brain side is the left and you have an analytical approach..We're amazing Peachy

    I ended up doodling in both directions on my forehead, my natural instinct was to the right then I changed it to the left repeatedly trying to figure out if it was a Q I was actually drawing and if I should be going clockwise or anticlockwise so now I am just confused. (Doesn't take much) Sometimes I like to tell the truth when people are expecting a lie, fucks them right up! haha I was having sex at work once and a customer asked me what I was up to. So I said I was getting laid. He stopped and looked at me and said, really? I said yep, then he just had that look on his face like...are you fucking with me? lol. I could almost see the cogs turning as he was walking out, scratching his head.

    Bad BigO, it means you can't listen to intructions! . Thanks Sacral, I got left, I believe I am somewhat introverted. So... . Naw Guy, did you draw the Q? And did it agree with you? . It would be Freya, I'm easy going if anyone feels like doing sharing which of their hands is dominant. Hmmm, can't wait to see what people make of that... . Apparently dear Sir, you don't have a dominant hand. hehe Funny choice of letters though, when written in cursive, Q can look like a 2 and Z can look like a 3. . Lol In_2, I really couldn't say! . LOL NoFuzz... I like your style. . Haha, love that song DG, I'm thinking you surely didn't get introverted... . Ralf, you're just awesome lol. Was there anyone around? Cos people came into the room just as I was doodling on my forehead, testing both ways... HAHA they totally thought I'd lost it! I was so intent on what I was doing, but still also focusing on the talk! You were leaning to the right it seems and that makes sense to me. I want to walk into your store one day. . ILL 50z lol? When you put it that way... . LOL Safari, xxx.

    hummmmmmmmmmmmmm Ms.Pechy - well I am an introvert, secure in my life and am a thinker to solve problems, (as in like to process, analyze from all angles, then solve problem) takes me a while to put it all together. But I will say this..a knew a person once, who told me they were very good a lying - a master at it. Cause I was unsure to believe them or not - made me very very weary. I know everyone lies, tell little white lies, and black lies too..but when one admits they do it and says they are very good at it and looks me in the eyes. Well It makes it hard for me to trust them. :( Foxy

Your dominant brain side is the left and you have an analytical approach. More often than not my thumbs lie next to each other when I clasp my hands together! And depending on what hand I do the 'Q' with determines which way the tail goes. Guess I'm just one mixed up chick

    would not necessarily draw the Q one way or the other until I knew how it was intended to be viewed. If it was intended to be viewed by someone facing me, I would draw it so it would be legible to them. Just tracing it out for me, there was no particular preference - I could do it either way without trouble, so how do you interpret that ? I prefer to always tell the truth in most instances, but will be 'diplomatic' with my language depending on circumstance. But I can put on an amazing poker-face when the situation calls for it. Many a time my former wife would require an answer for something or other, and if I wanted to clown around, I could come up with some amazing stories that she absolutely could not tell if I was screwing with her or not, and at times in concert with my elder daughter who would pick up on what I was doing and we would really bamboozle her. I could pull that off because I can resist laughing at the ridiculous stories I put forward and keep a straight face. Tall

    OK for me you need a very good memory to be good at lying, something I do not appear to have. So for me give lying a miss, most of the time Yes you girls do seem to have an inbuilt radar for detecting lying, also body language a big give away if you know what to watch for. Tried your hand clasping, right thumb won, hit the spot.

    I drew it to the left but I'm an introvert most of the time, that's confusing. I can lie and do it very well and dont get caught people mostly have absolutely no idea...... Now everyone's that met me will be wondering "did she lie to me", the thing is you will never know. missb - fucking with people's minds 😆

    Its not the Q you need to draw it a capital L and if you write it the right way around it proves absolutely nothing.

    I'm both an introvert and a great liar if I want to be, but make the conscious decision to only tell the truth. (Unless I'm winding someone up for a laugh, but then I'll tell them I was lying soon after.) Being truthful has been my downfall at times, so I do try to say things in a more diplomatic way these days. Besides I doubt my memory is still good enough to sustain any lie for more than a day.

    And did you try the Q Pat? Did it agree with what you believe about how good you are at lying? . LOL Missb, um... mostly I'm the same as you, but, I would also say that most of the time, I'm a lousy liar. . Uhuh! Mmm yeah, me too Ms Quality! . Dear Blindman, you are very kind, but I am not God... hehe, the L thing's already been done btw, and very cleverly too! . My favourite sort Meander, thanks for your honesty. ;-) I am curious if you drew that Q. . Hahaha, and I do wonder whether Richard Wiseman took the test... and what his result was. .

A curious combination, and I am nothing if not curious lol.. . Hmmm... There's some interesting stuff there. . And that's what I got too Meander, but another post on another thread has me as an introvert. So... it was a question I had to ask. Thank you. A Q pat does sound like something we might do on here but Pat is Patmeknow, .

    Thank You, MrsPeachyPear I am left handed and the tail of my Q fell to the left. As to the findings "...... likely to be aware how others perceive you, are happy being the centre of attention and are probably a good liar." I agree wholly with the first 1 and 2 but not with the last. I'm not a very good liar and I try to be as honest as I can. I like the the "Thumb Test" too. My left thumb was "on top". I totally agree with the finding of this one. It is totally me. Amy

    To be a good liar you require a reasonably good memory but I've found that as my age progresses toward infinity my memory has sadly decided to get off at the next stop.So I guess I'll be a truthful Jones for the rest of the trip.
