Help!!!!! Taking a Polygraph !!!

I am applying to the sheriff's dept here and have to take a polygraph..... I have never really done anything wrong..but I am still worried.

The good thing is that they gave me a list of questions for the polygraph.

Some of the questions are really strange. They ask about family arrests and a lot of other thing that I don't know about. 

I am sad to say that with every question I have thought about someone that I know doing the act...such as.....have you ever stolen anything over 200.00...I have not but the first thing I thought of was my cousin stealing 250.00 from her dads sock drawer.....am I in deep crap or what???


Any tips?

Mischief,
You really need to read The lie behind the lie detector.
It is such a huge help.  Once you read it, you will have a better understanding of this machine.

I don't imagine family arrests will be relevant questions on a polygraph.  The questions are going to be, more about you and you only.

your drug use
Theft
Serious crimes
Falsification of the aplication
etc.
I have never heard of a question like, Do you know anyone who has stolen anything valued at 200.00 or more?
Might be a control..
Don't rely on questions from that packet they gave you to be on the poly.  Some might originate from there, but I think that they will get control q's from there.
