Please do not post your answers to these questions.

I found this interesting because people who score low on this test seem to be more successful socially.

Self-Deception Questionnaire
Gur, R. C , & Sackeim, H. A. (1979). Self-deception: A concept in search of a
phenomenon. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 37. 147-169.

of your parents?

opposite sex turn you on?

4. Have you ever felt like you wanted to
kill somebody?

5. Do you ever get angry?

6. Do you ever have thoughts that you
don’t want other people to know that you
have?

7. Do you ever feel attracted to people of
the same sex?

8. Have you ever made a fool of yourself?

9. Are there things in your life that make
you feel unhappy?

10. Is it important to you that other people
think highly of you?

11. Would you like to know what other
people think of you?

12. Were your parents ever mean to you?

13. Do you have any bad memories?

parents hated you?

whether or not you are homosexual?

Its a disguised test for homosexual tendencies.

Only questions 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, and 20 are pertinent. The others are controls.

The questionnaire was designed to identify people who lie to themselves (delusional).

So in other words, the correct and honest answers are presumed, and anything that goes contrary to these assumptions is considered a sign of self deception?

At least according to Gur, R. C , & Sackeim, H. A. (1979).

And probably Alfred Kinsey, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953).

Your answer to q#1 was high. The idea is that homosexual men have repressed hatred for their mothers.

Your answers in q#3, Does every attractive person of the
opposite sex turn you on? Yes 7

...has tension with q#7. Do you ever feel attracted to people of
the same sex? 1

It idea is that if every attractive person of the opposite sex turns you on, the attractiveness of people of the opposite sex should turn you on too. Thus you are denying the attraction you feel.

Your answer in q#12, Were your parents ever mean to you? 7, conflicts with your answer in q#14, Have you ever thought that your parents hated you? 1

The idea is that if you think your parents were mean to you, even if only sometimes, a score of 1 on q#14 is not the truth. This is consistent with the idea that you are repressing how you feel.

On q#16, Have you ever been uncertain as to whether or not you are homosexual? Your scored yourself the lowest. 1

But on q#18, Have you ever enjoyed your bowel movements? You again scored yourself the lowest.

The idea is that homosexuals unconsciously associate the anus with pleasure, and thus often report they enjoy their bowel movements. You may not see it at first, but q#16 asks,

A¹. Have you ever been uncertain as to whether or not you are homosexual?

Hidden inside this question is this question,

A². Have you ever been uncertain as to whether [you are] not homosexual?

The idea being that a man with homosexual tendencies, being more tuned to homosexuality, will more likely interpret q#16 as A², the second way.

I don't know how to score it. Am I gay based on the test?
According to the test, you have latent and repressed homosexual tendencies due to early difficulties with your mother or a mother figure. And that if you ever did act out your homosexuality, you would more likely enjoy being a catcher, and not a pitcher.

Please, before anyone starts insulting me, this is not my test and I do not agree with it. I am not expressing my opinions about wylted. He asked, I answered.

No offense wylted.

If I were queer, you are Dann right I would be a catcher, why even bother being queer otherwise. Seriously you can bang girls in the ass, if you are going to be gay, man up and take it in the rear.

Thank you for that answer. It was very interesting, let me clarify a few points though.

Your answer to q#1 was high. The idea is that homosexual men have repressed hatred for their mothers.
I hated my dad for a while. He was an abusive drunk.


the idea is that if every attractive person of the opposite sex turns you on, the attractiveness of people of the opposite sex should turn you on too. Thus you are denying the attraction you feel.
Seems silly, being attracted to every woman who is attractive, if  anything makes me like a super hetero. I even fuck fat chicks, so you know. I just like the vagina, and it's easy to turn me on if you have one.

Your answer in q#12, Were your parents ever mean to you? 7, conflicts with your answer in q#14, Have you ever thought that your parents hated you? 1

The idea is that if you think your parents were mean to you, even if only sometimes, a score of 1 on q#14 is not the truth. This is consistent with the idea that you are repressing how you feel.
I was always told I was their favorite, by both of them which is fucked up, because they wouldn't hide that favoritism from my siblings. When my dad was mean and beating me, I still knew he loved me and he would even say such while beating me or depriving me of sleep in his manic episodes. I just thought he couldn't control his rage and that he was a bad person, just a bad person who loved me.

I have no defense for question 16, LOL they got me there.

Could it be you blamed your mom for not protecting you?

It means you have a high libido. The fact that it's any woman means the woman doesn't matter, the sex does. If it's just the sex, highly attractive men will set off your response too whether you like it or not. So you over compensate by being hyper on vaginas.

I was always told I was their favorite, by both of them which is fucked up
Tough childhood. How is your relationship with your siblings now?

I best not say anything here.

No, I have always blamed myself for bad events that happen to me or anyone around me. Plus my dad kidnapped us, so it wasn't her fault she wasn't around

Okay, I guess,

It means you have a high libido. The fact that it's any woman means the woman doesn't matter, the sex does. If it's just the sex, highly attractive men will set off your response too whether you like it or not. So you over compensate by being hyper on vaginas.

There is literally nothing attractive about men. I have no clue why woment want to fuck us. I understand the logic behind it though.

Would you mind telling us about it? If it's too personal then excuse me. I just find people very interesting.

Was your dad foreign?

No he was American and him and my mother would kidnap me and my siblings back and forth after their divorce and before any custody hearings happened. I guess my dad got tired of losing so the last time he did it, we drove 3000 miles to Florida. It was a perfectly legal kidnapping, so perhaps it shouldn't be labeled one, but it sure seemed like one.

One day my mom would show up to pull us out of school early, the next day my dad would show up at a grocery store with a cop to grab us while we were shopping. They both constantly used the police to help with kidnappings. The police were just there to make sure that neither my mom nor dad interfered physically with the other parent grabbing us. Sometimes a parent could get all 3 of us, sometimes only one, but there were 3 of us so they could always get atleast one

I would have preferred to stay with my mom, but when given the choice I always picked my dad because my siblings picked my mom and I was concerned about his feelings being hurt. I wanted him to know we loved him despite preferring mom. 

I was 16 years old when the state declared me an adult and emancipated me. I gained full custody of my siblings at 16

The range would seem to be from 20 to 140.

49 would seem to be near the high end of self-deluded which suggests you are more socially conscientious and therefore more likely to succeed in matters that are deemed important to your social group.

A score closer to 140 would suggest that you are more honest with yourself and significantly less socially conscientious and therefore less likely to succeed in matters that are deemed important to your social group.

Interesting, but i answered those questions pretty honestly... i mean, i sure within a point or two mistake if anything. It's funny how it is deemed self-deluded since it was pretty honest. But in any case, i like the affirmation that i will succeed =)

Aggression, Activity, Self Interest, Anger, Being Aggrieved, Power.
'Can lead to individual success. Being the first to seize opportunity, or not minding stepping on others.
Maybe not 'too good for society, or interpersonal functional happy relationships, maybe not even fulfilling long term (I couldn't say)
'Also can be instead 'really 'dysfunction, and opposite of success.

Depends on the type of success being measured.

Maslow's Hierarchy, seems a decent, if basic, measure, to me.
