Take This Quiz And We’ll Reveal Whether You’re An Honest Person Or A Liar
Honesty is one of the most highly regarded human traits. Just where would we be without it? If everyone refused to tell the truth, the world would cease to function. Take relationships as an example: without an element of trust, that delicate arrangement of sharing a life between two people would fail. Then again, even though nobody likes a liar, most would agree that being perfectly truthful - in certain situations - can have its downsides. Sometimes, lying feels like the easy way out.
If you've ever had a friend ask if a particular outfit makes them look fat, then you'll understand. As much as we want to tell the truth, sometimes it's simply not worth seeing the look of devastation on your friend's face. Thus comes a white lie. Of course, some lies are more serious than others, and a white lie can sometimes lead to serious consequences...
Plus, it's not like people lie purely to save the feelings of others. A lot of lying - specifically the kind you can go to jail for, like fraud - is done with the explicit intent of benefitting yourself. And aren't all mistruths on that same spectrum? Don't you always have something to gain, however small?
It can be difficult to assess our own levels of honesty, seeing as we often convince ourselves that something is true, regardless of the reality of the situation. In order to solve this conundrum, we've compiled a quiz to accurately reveal whether you're an honest person, a liar or something in between. Well, what are you waiting for? It's time for the truth to be revealed once and for all!

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.
