3. Most People Aren’t Good at Detecting Liars

You’d think that since most people aren’t good at lying, then you’d be able to spot someone being deceptive, right? Unfortunately, that’s not the case. The same study that revealed that people are terrible liars also showed that the observers weren’t good at detecting lies.

Interestingly, the average person can only spot deception around half the time. Looks like people are just as bad at detecting lies as they are at telling them.
