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.

    Go take some classes on stress management and biofeedback and learn to control all those things they are testing for

    The only real measure that they can read is your breathing rate. Everything else is so variable naturally that it’s just noise.

      You can learn to consciously control a lot of things that various ‘lie detectors’ monitor. I took a stress management/biofeedback class in college where we learned to raise and lower galvanic skin response, heart rate, and blood pressure. It was a fun class, and in learning to control them, you can also reduce the chance of getting a false positive by keeping any of those variables from drifting to far from the expected range.
