It is impossible to be completely sure that someone is not faking their data, as no method is foolproof. While certain techniques such as response latency times or dissimulation scales may be used as indicators, they are not 100% accurate and there is always a potential for false results. Additionally, independently corroborating the veracity of the response may not always be possible or feasible.
