But if you are taking a political test that asks your opinion on various topics in order to gauge your political stance, why would you lie to yourself about what you believe about those topics? Why would a liberal WANT to lie about topics to make himself look more conservative, for instance. Would you? Say the question is, "Do you support a mother's right to choose to abort her fetus in the first trimester?" - Assuming you, tassy, believe "yes" why would you answer "no?" or vice versa?“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

People lie to themselves when their subconscious attitudes and feelings don’t correspond to their perceived or desired self-image and ideals.
