True or False: Lying

I got asked this question on a questionnaire: "Is withholding information from someone considered lying"? I say no because you technically didn't lie but you were dishonest in not sharing everything.... Is it or is it not lying?

The answer cannot be marginalized into a yes or no question because it depends on entirely too many variables.

Depends. If you withheld information knowing that sharing the information would produce a different outcome (favorably), then I say yes it is lying. Unintentionally not sharing something is all the fault of the question taker. They should ask better questions.

I say no, but I think it largely depends on how the question was worded and how the information was withheld.

Here are two scenarios.
If I'm in an open relationship with my partner and I don't tell them everything that I did on a night out and withheld information when asked about my night out, is that lying or not?
When asked by my manager did the job get done my team was assigned but I cover for someone else slack and say yes I did but withhold that someone else didn't finish their part and I cover for them. Is that lying?

It's obviously not lying. Your partner (not that there is anything wrong with that) may want the full story and you are not being open, but you aren't lying.

If it is an open relationship, why not tell them everything? To me, that is lying.

No. The job got done.
I think that is what that last question was asking, some punctuation should be in your future.

Well if you're concern about how they will react to things then it may be best to omit things. Then again since I am in one, I have to believe that they will be strong enough to handle what I tell them...

It's not lying but it is a form if deception.
Posted on 12/30/14 at 10:10 am to Buttermilk Pancakes
Lying is making a false statement to deceive so if no false statement made then no lie has been committed

Depends on what you mean by "open relationship" and the understanding and agreement you both have. The term "open relationship" can vary from couple to couple.

No, not in this situation. If the question was "did the job get done", the answer is yes.
However, let's say none of you did the job your team was assigned and you outsourced it, the yes...in that situation it would be lying to a certain degree.
