About This Quiz

Did you know that the average person tells 1.63 lies per day? Whether it's lying to make ourselves look better or lying to cover up something, it's not all that uncommon to tell a little fib or two. During this quiz, we think we'll be able to figure out how many times per day you drop a mistruth bomb. All you have to do is be honest about yourself!

It's not that we're calling you a liar. In fact, lying successfully is quite the art form, and it has been a lucrative career for many politicians. Like anything in life, you can't have the good without the bad — and you can't have the truth without a lie! There's no judgment here, so don't be afraid to tell the whole truth about yourself when you answer our questions. 

By the time we've summed up your preferences and your personality quirks, we'll know you better than your closest friend. Will your nose grow longer as you describe yourself, or will you manage to open up and be honest with us? If you lie during this quiz, you might not get an accurate result, but some of you might be counting on that, huh? The truth is hard to handle sometimes!
