Honesty test 'should be reviewed' - "Just 47% thought that it was wrong for a carer to persuade a patient to change their will in their favour. The current test - the Ghosh test - assumes a universal view of honesty. The Brunel University study also found that women were more likely to find activities such as taking stationery home from work dishonest, but less willing to convict the wrongdoer than men... The researchers say the results raise serious questions about people's concepts of honesty and the reliability of the jury system... A higher proportion of women, 82.2%, thought it was dishonest to lie about age on an internet dating site than believed it was wrong to benefit from the will alteration. In a league table of dishonest acts, conning the elderly care home patient came 13th out of 16 - just one place above snapping off broccoli stalks in a supermarket and weighing the heads... "It seems to be based on whether or not the person speaking is likeable. When we like people or feel sorry for them, we are far less likely to condemn what they have done so this has a major effect on whether or not their conduct is rated as honest or dishonest.""
