Tuxman,

If you tell the above to your polygrapher, you are likely to be accused of deception and/or having employed countermeausures during your polygraph "test."

You will be interested in my brief e-mail exchange with American Polygraph Association president Skip Webb, in which I asked him how polygraphers are to handle informed subjects. He declined to say. You'll find our exchange at:

Have you read The Lie Behind the Lie Detector? In Chapter 4, we discuss ways to protect oneself against a false positive outcome, but the "complete honesty" approach we suggest seems to be quite risky. I would suggest that you not try it without first consulting a lawyer.

I had also forgot in my original post that the examiner had asked if I knew of any countermeasure techniques? I'm sure when I take my next test he will ask me the same becaause I doubt he remembers me. Should I say yes? and tell him that in my opinion this is a scam, and dont believe in the polygraph at all and im prepared to use every counter measureing technique I know? If so what can they possibly do? What would be his reaction?

Thanks
