Bad news, introverts: You make terrible liars.
Or at least that's what this five-second quiz from YouTube channel In 59 Seconds claims.
The quiz itself is quite easy. Simply allow yourself five seconds to draw a capital Q on your forehead using the first finger of your dominant hand. It's how you draw the Q that gives a bit of insight into your lying skills.
According to research from psychologist R. Glen Hass, it's all about extroverts versus introverts.
People who draw the letter in a way that could be read by someone else facing them are more likely to be aware of how others see them. These people tend to extroverted, and thus better at lying. But people who draw the Q facing so that they themselves can read the letter are less likely to know how other people view them, and thus more introverted. These people tend to be worse liars.
So before you tell your boss that you're late due to a flat tire, take five seconds to test your fibbing skills.
