What I don’t understand is where the heck integrity fits into a polygraph examination? How does it accurately predict who has integrity and who doesn’t?

stopnik,
IMHO, it doesn't.

The polygraph is a unique sitation, and one a candidate for a job is unlikely to come across otherwise...unless that candidate is tortured for information.  As such, I suppose it might be a good indicator of who will crack and spill his guts under pressure.  Ironic.
