The Wizards Project (formerly called the Diogenes Project) was a research project that studied the ability of people to detect lies told by others.

A “Truth Wizard” is a person identified in the Wizards Project, who can identify deception with exceptional accuracy of at least 80% or higher, whereas the average person is only as good as a coin toss. No Truth Wizard, however, is 100% accurate.

The study identified only 50 people as Truth Wizards after testing 20,000 people (about 0.25% of the population) from all walks of life, including the Secret Service, FBI, sheriffs, police, attorneys, arbitrators, psychologist, students and many others.
