This paper aims to validate the self-deception instrument SDQ-12 (manipulation and
mixtification questionnaire) which objectively, adequately, and usefully measures the
constructs of self-deception, the inability to perceive negative behaviors and the way of
acting in daily life in relation to social desirability. This self-deception questionnaire presents
a test with 12 items that measure two factors: mixtification and manipulation. The general
objective of the research is to develop a test validation process for the measurement of selfdeception in people with Colombian nationality adapted to the context and culture, checking
its effectiveness in the application to a significant sample group of the population that leads
to conclusions and results contributing to the clinical field of psychology and more precisely
to the strengthening of Colombian psychologists.
