Pucker your A- hole as tight as you can before answering every question.
Then they won't be able to tell when you are not truthful.

They have a new butt pad you sit on that actually measures this during the test. I wouldn't advise doing this.Originally Posted by SideShow Bob
My boss is a polygraph examiner as is one of my co-workers. The biggest part of the test is the pre-test where you spill your guts about everything you've ever done, all the pencils you've stolen, etc.
The questions will be gone over with you, there will be no surprises. If there is something irregular, they will stop the test after the first set of questions and ask you about it. Then conduct the test again. and possibly once again, depending upon your reactions.
Just relax, be honest. You will be okay. I've taken literally dozens of them.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Do this and they will know. They will also end the poly and you fail, period. No job. Don't try to beat the poly. Just be honest and answer the questions truthfully. You will be fine.

Everything posted here is true to my experiences. Try to relax even if they sit you in an uncomfortable square backed wooden chair that wobbles. Butthole squeezing will only tip off the examiner that A) you're lying, B) you're about to crap yourself C) you're lying and crapping yourself. Let them know if you have any injury or painful parts as that will show on the needles if the pain occurs. They also have various other sensors (arms, ears, fingers, chest, waist, feet) that may be used. Chill. Relax. Be honest. Answers are "Yes" or "No". If you have to explain further, you'll get a chance. Sometimes, the tester will pause the test, grab his papers and walk out the room leaving you to 'sweat' for a few minutes. He/she may come back in and tell you there's something not quite right and wants to start over. This is also part of the test to see if you trip up and change answers or spill your guts on whatever. They typically will ask the same questions in a different form, 2,3,4 times. Chill, be calm, keep honest. Get a good sleep, no heavy booze or relaxers (pills), avoid lots of caffiene, get there a bit early to calm down after the hectic drive and drink some water.

Do you like Obama?
When I took mine, they asked way worse questions in the face to face interview than they did in the lie detector interview.
Also, when the examiner asks you what the biggest crime you've ever committed is, he won't be very amused when you answer "Grand Theft Napkin Dispenser."
True story.
"There are no finger prints under water."
the one and only time i took one i had a blast with it (i already had the job ) . tride the pucker trick , blatantly lied , mostly had a giggle fest (much to the annoyance to the test giver ) . but when i got the proverbial smack on the pee pee i acted right and passed no problem . like everyone says be honest and relax , being high strung or not taking it serious will not go over well at all .im sure you will do fine but good luck just the same .
oh do tell
They will screw with your head. Polygraphs are stupid things. If they were so great in determining if a human being is lying why are they not admissible in court. Exactly. As far as beating one with proper training not going to happen. Unless you had some military training from the classified sector. You wont beat one. Remember they will run a test poly before they start the real test. They will ask you what is your name, when were you born, what is the date, and is it nice outside as an example. Remember what your body is doing in terms of physical and mental stress. When they ask you for the real questions this is where they will detect changes in your pulse, breathing and visual changes in your face and body. Remember dont pay attention to the stupid sounds the machine is making "scribbling on the paper" he will ask you questions over and over again and the paper sounds make people nervous. Hold to your answers. Most polygraph administrators are scum bags.
Wear boots with a steel toe, practice moving your toes without any visual movement being detected while sitting in a chair. Constant movement of toes throughout the entire process never stopping. Take this info as you will. This could be real info or this info could of came from a cracker jack box.
