Obviously, the interviewer is implying about loyalty to the state (“state” as in country, not a US State) or to an administration, and I know that they are implying that. But I am not loyal to an administration. But I know that’s what they actually meant.
How would the polygraph interpret it if I say “Yes”, because I’m answering based on my interpretation of loyalty to the constitution, but deep down, I full well know the implied question the interviewer is asking.
🤔
Lie detectors can’t determine the truth. They can only tell if you’re nervous about something. They monitor heart rate, breathing, skin temperature and perspiration levels. They can see when these factors change when asked specific questions, which may indicate that you are lying…but it’s really a matter of the kinds of questions they ask, and how your reactions are interpreted. They are not considered reliable.
This. They measure these body changes and some idiots decided that these correlate perfectly with lies, but really they can correlate with plenty of things. They start with a base measurement where they ask you simple and verifiable questions such as your name, address, etc.
Here are some legitimate reasons that can get you marked as a liar:
A polygraph can be useful to help uncover the truth as it can help investigators possibly find subjects that disturb you and could relate to lies.
Calling a polygraph a lie detector is ignorant, malicious, stupid, or some combination of the above.
P. S
Good liars can fool polygraphs easily, like not even a complicated thing to learn.
