The study found one of the key strategies of liars is to tell plausible lies that stay close to the truth, and to not give away much information. The better someone thinks they are at lying, the more lies they will tell, the researchers said.

The most commonly used strategy among all those who admitted to lying, whether experts or poor liars, was to leave out certain information, they said. However, expert liars added to that an ability to weave a believable story embellished with truth, making the lies harder to spot, according to the researchers.

Those who thought they were not good at lying resorted, when they did lie, to being vague, they said. Of the 194 people, the most common types of deception, in descending order, were 'white lies', exaggerations, hiding information, burying lies in a torrent of truth and making up things.

Most people chose to lie face-to-face, then via text message, a phone call, email, and via social media, the researchers said. Most expert liars lie most often to family, friends or colleagues. Employers and authority figures were least likely to be lied to, they said.
The study showed no link between level of education and lying ability.
