Are we all self decievers?

Asked by wabarr (458points) May 23rd, 2008

I was listening to an awesome NPR show called Radio Lab. Apparently some psychologists use the following questions (among others) to determine if someone is a self deceiver. According to them…if you answer “no” to any of these questions, you are lying to yourself.

1. Do you enjoy your bowel movements?
2. Have you ever wanted to rape or be raped by someone?
3. Have you ever thought of committing suicide in order to get back at someone?
Full questionnaire here

Would you answer yes to all these questions?
