Obsessive Compulsive Disorder


How can you tell if you are a compulsive liar?

Usually compulsive liars are not confident individuals and they feel the need to dramatize certain events in their lives to impress others. These are some of the signs of a compulsive liar: If the compulsive liar did something wrong and someone else found out they'd lie their way out of it. Telling others about things in their life that didn't happen. Dramatizing events in their life that didn't go down the way it did. Lying over silly things such as borrowing something from someone and denying they ever had it. Lying about other people. Constantly blaming others for the problems one gets themselves into. These are but a few. If a person has been told they are a compulsive liar they probably are. Compulsive liars often don't mean to be this way, so professional help does help them balance out their lives, face themselves and not be afraid of being who they are or telling the truth and taking the consequences for their own actions.

If someone makes up crazy lies and denies things every time you catch them can you assume that person is a chronic liar or will normally honest people go that far?

The person is either in "denial" or a chronic or compulsive liar. Some people that are in denial actually believe they are not guilty of what you accuse them of (even if you catch them) and may say things like, "You misunderstood me" or "I didn't say at all ... you're imagining things" and will become quite stubborn and agitated. Compulsive liars lie because they lack self esteem and dramatize their life's events to make themselves self important in the eyes of their peers. All people lie to some degree, but most of the time the lies are white lies. Example: A girlfriend asks you if you like the her hair dyed red and you really don't like it, but find yourself telling her that she looks great. It's to spare her feelings and you realize it's only your opinion and not necessarily the opinions of others. People in denial or compulsive liars know they are and will lie over the silliest things. They are almost child-like. Although there is therapy for this unless the individual is willing (on their own) to seek therapy it's best to end such a relationship because you'll never trust what they say ever again. Because they are in denial and need help, and usually find themselves doing that


What is the difference between formal and informal risk assessments?

• Formal represent, conducting the proper meeting with in the team members and other team members(development), proper documentation, logging the bug etc...while Informal represents not doing these things. •Informal testing is done by a coder before he gives files to the testing team.The coder himself tests his codes in an informal way.there is no procedure of informal testing.the coder also uses automation tools for unit testing and integration testing. On the other hand formal testing is done by the testing team.The testing team follows the formal procedure of testing the files.They make test cases,run tests and then log the bugs in the bug tracking tools.


Could compulsive lying be linked to any childhood trauma or abuse or if it even may be hereditary?

There is now some evidence that a truly compulsive liar may have a genetic make-up slightly different than that of more honest people. However, the overwhelming academic opinion is still that a behavior, such as lying, is a learned trait strengthened through observation and conditioning.

Can being compulsive be a strength?

It is true that when people do things compulsively, they may accomplish quite a lot. Compulsion does have that advantage. The disadvantage is that you may wind up ignoring important or necessary aspects of your life in order to pursue your compulsive activity, whatever that may be. Heroin addicts are extremely compulsive about using heroin. So compulsion can be a bad thing as well. If you are going to do something compulsively, choose your compulsion wisely.
