This is why people cheat

The psychology of betrayal [Image](https://) Greetings Everyday Spy, The Cambridge Five were five men who betrayed their country by giving secrets to the Soviets. They betrayed their home country and gave away sensitive intel about the British government for over 20 years during World War II and the Cold War. Some of the Five got caught, but others escaped to the Soviet Union. It was “cheating” on a national level. But it’s just like when people cheat in relationships. In an instant, someone you trusted with your life throws it all away. And the pain caused is brutal. Betrayal was common in the spy world. And it hasn’t slowed down since. But here’s the million-dollar question: What makes people do it? Some people have personalities more geared toward deception than others. One of the Cambridge Five believed in communism more than being loyal to his country. So when the chance came, he cheated. CIA uses [a tool to understand personalities on a deep level]( to see who might be capable of trying to trick you while out in the field. The tool is the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, which turbocharges your ability to read people. It’s like going from an old-school dial-up modem to fiber internet. Using it the way elite spies do helps keep you safe from deception. But being on guard doesn’t mean being paranoid. It means objectively understanding what people are capable of.
