Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Lie Scale.
EPQ-L / L-scale
- What it measures
- Lie / social-desirability validity scale embedded in the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire; flags 'faking good' / dissimulation (and, debatably, a stable conformity trait)
- Length and format
- 21 (EPQ-R Lie subscale); ~21 in EPQ; shorter in EPQ-R-Short. yes/no (self-report questionnaire)
- Language versions
- The EPQ/EPQ-R is translated and normed in 30+ countries; the Lie scale travels with it (e.g. ES, DE, IT, ZH, plus many others)

Choosing between this and the alternatives
We do not deliver this instrument. If you are selecting a measure for a research programme, a national survey or an assessment product, and the question is which instrument, in which language, against which norms and under which licence, that is the work we do.
