Crispin-Buxley Phenomenon

A made-up term that is commonly used as an attention test or honesty test of some sort. It is used to see if people will lie or tell the truth when faced with a question they’re unsure about. The hope is that people will be truthful, but sometimes, for whatever reason, sometimes they aren’t.
