I used to lie quite a bit but found it too much of a hassle to keep track of them with the different people I was telling them to. Lying can be a sign of intelligence, I would agree. I also think its a sign of a lack of self-respect and of self-esteem. I find it easier to just tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may; rather than trying to manipulate the situation to conform to my lies.
I think lying has its purpose, though. Although, I do see it as bad kharma.
