With all of them, we are left with three options regarding their self-assessment:
1 - The given person was a liar.
2 - The given person was a lunatic.
3 - The given person was exactly who they said they were.

It's interesting to see what people's responses are when posed with this trichotomy.

Typically, they will dispute the record of self-assessment rather than answer the question.
