12% of adults admit to telling lies "sometimes" or "often". The profession with the highest number of liars is teaching, with 65% admitting to telling lies, and a surprising 18% telling surveyors that they tell lies "routinely". The most dishonest time of day is between 9 and 9:30 in the evening, with the early hours of the morning most likely to reveal the truth. Australians are the most honest people in the world, followed closely by Norwegians, Swedes and Belgians. On the other hand, Wales has by far the highest percentage of liars (93%), and the lowest percentage of people who actually admitted to being economical with the truth (a mere 1%). When asked the question "are you a liar?" nearly 97% of people answer "no". When the remaining 3% (self-confessed liars) are subjected to questions calibrating their real, rather than perceived honesty, they turn out to be, on average, 28 times more honest than than the people who claimed they never lied. The most profligate liar in history was US president Richard Nixon, who researchers found to have lied on record 837 times on a single day.
Lying is not a character trait but rather a behavior that some individuals may engage in for various reasons. It is generally considered a negative behavior as it involves intentionally deceiving others.
Lying can be learned behavior, as children often pick up on the habit from observing others. However, some individuals may also lie as a coping mechanism or to avoid consequences. Overall, the propensity to lie can vary depending on individual experiences and environmental factors.
Descriptive statistics.

Psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, and other mental health personnel use the term 'compulsive lying' when they refer to people who cannot control their lying, that is, people who feel compelled to lie and are aware that they are lying. Therefore, compulsive lying implies impaired ability to control it. The term 'compulsive lying' is not a diagnosis. It is a behavior or a symptom associated with a number of mental disorders [for example, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder]. The term "confabulation" is used to describe lying or invention when the person who is lying is not aware that they are lying. To be more specific, confabulation is treating a fantasy as a fact, without awareness that fantasy has replaced fact."

Related medical terms are pathological lying, confabulation, and mythomania, each with its own distinctions. Lying without consequences is lying with impunity. When can a politician lie with impunity?When most people tell a lie it is to avoid an expected consequence of being truthful.
