Deception Correlation With Extraversion And Intelligence

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0176591: "The novelty of the work presented here is the finding that the effect of extraversion on lying frequency depends on intelligence (or, conversely, effect of fluid intelligence on lying frequency depends on extraversion level). This finding links the well-established relationship between personality traits and deception frequency with cognitive aspects of lying. The role of fluid intelligence here is unclear. It might have an indirect effect on lying frequency by making the person a more successful liar, which in turn reinforces the use of deceptive behaviors. Alternatively, one might speculate that in the context of current studies that higher fluid intelligence made the participants pursue deception, realizing it to be the most successful strategy."
