Are You A Pathological Liar? Take Our Test To Find Out!
No one is 100% honest all of the time. It doesn’t matter how well-mannered, conscientious and principled you might be, we all utter the occasional mistruth now and then. Maybe we’re withholding our opinion on something to shield someone’s feelings; maybe we’re misreporting the facts in order to hide a guilty secret.
Any way you look at it, though, a lie is a lie, and there isn’t one among us who isn’t guilty of being a liar at least every once in a while. For some of us, however, it isn’t simply a case of telling a few little white lies here and there. For some of us, lies fall out of our mouths so often that it almost qualifies as a second language. Sometimes these lies are told for one’s own personal gain; sometimes they’re told in the hopes of damaging someone against whom we hold a grudge. Sometimes, we might be telling lies simply for the fun of it. And if you find yourself doing that on a regular basis, you might want to consider getting some help! There’s a clinical term for people who just can’t stop blatant falsehoods from pouring out of their mouths day in, day out: pathological liars. And if you’re wondering whether you might be one of those yourself, now’s your chance to find out. We’ll tell you just how big a liar you are if you answer our questions as honestly as you can - although we realise that might be tricky for some of you!

Founded in 2016, Eighties Kids started small. Beginning as a blog posting on 80s and 90s life as well as the movies, music and television of the era, Eighties Kids has in a short space of time exploded in scope and ambition. Operating out of Eighties Kids HQ in sunny Ilkley, in the North of England, today a growing team of writers produces original content day in and day out for one of the best new nostalgia sites on the web.
With the site also growing beyond its original remit, the Eighties Kids team now covers not just trivia from the 80s and 90s, but pop culture of all decades that's of interest to children of the 80s, 90s and beyond. From shocking and obscure fact posts on your favourite movies and bands, to quizzes on classic TV shows and film franchises, to picture galleries on celebrities from past and present, Eighties Kids is here to take you down memory lane, test your knowledge of classic pop culture and maybe even occasionally blow your mind.
Answering a question, correctly or otherwise, will allow you to progress to the next one; just scroll down and you'll see another question light up and become playable. Keep in mind though: all correct and incorrect answers will be tallied for a final score, which will be revealed to you only once you've answered each and every question in the quiz. Play down the page to the end to find out just how knowledgeable you are in your chosen subject.
