Body language content online is mostly overclaimed. Single cues are read as proof of deception or attraction when the evidence supports nothing so specific.
These questions try to stay honest about that. Where a cue is genuinely suggestive, it is framed as a context clue rather than a tell. The cognitive-bias questions rest on firmer ground — anchoring, the illusory truth effect and the frequency illusion are well replicated and worth being able to name when you feel them working on you.
Every question below shows all four options, the keyed answer, and the one-line explanation. If you want to turn these into video, the OmniFrame Quiz Studio is free and this pack is built in.
