About this lying habits quiz
Source basis
This quiz asks about frequency, urges, concealment, consequences, and whether dishonesty feels hard to control.
Limits
Pathological lying is not a stand-alone diagnosis in major diagnostic manuals, and lying can relate to fear, shame, safety, substance use, trauma, or personality patterns.
Next step
If dishonesty is damaging trust or feels compulsive, consider speaking with a therapist and starting with one relationship where honesty is safest.
