Pathological Liar Test

Various mental illnesses, such as antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder, may be associated with pathological lying behavior.

The root cause of pathological lying can vary and may include factors such as underlying psychological issues, childhood trauma, low self-esteem, or a history of interpersonal conflicts.

While compulsive and pathological liars engage in habitual lying behavior, compulsive liars may lie impulsively without much forethought. In contrast, pathological liars may lie for complex reasons and exhibit a lack of remorse or guilt.
