Quote:I used to work with a local emergency squad and had to write reports out for calls, if a polygraph examiner asks me if i have ever lied on these reports I wouldn't honestly be able to remember because I wrote so many, so what would i say? I mean its possible i lied about something on the report but I can't say i did or didn't for sure.
Are you talking about an EMR (ambulance) crew? What kind of reports are you talking about? What kind of lpossible lies are you talking about? Remember, a lie means DELIBERATELY saying something that YOU KNOW is not true. Falsifying records means the same thing. DELIBERATELY entering something in a report YOU KNOW IS FALSE.
Quote:My other question, is it possible that you can fail a poly for just thinking about something and it making you anxious? I had an anxiety disorder about a year ago, now cured, where terrible thoughts would run through my mind without me having any control. So say for example they would ask me have i ever looked at underage pornography, i never did, but just the thought makes me anxious and unsettled so maybe they could view it as a lie. Any thoughts? Thanks all
If they ask you if you've ever looked at kiddie porn, and you haven't, then answer "NO!" If that is the actual truth. And stick to that answer. If the machine measures a "reaction" the polygraph operator will FALSELY ASSume you are lying, and possibly try to "fluster" you in an effort to get you to admit to something you haven't done. DON'T play that game. Answer truthfully, and stick to the truth. Go in realizing that the polygraph IS AN INTERROGATION not a test to measure if you are "telling the truth". And don't let them tell you otherwise.
As for your panic attacks/anxiety. You are under no obligation to discuss your medical history with the polygrapher. If your application asks for such info, put it down. And again, don't play the game of trying to explain your "chart reactions" to the examiner by discussing your anxiety. If you've told the truth, the held your end of the bargain. Don't let the polygrapher try to convince you you've done something that you HAVEN'T!
Remember, just because your nervous system "reacts" on the machine doesn't mean you are lying, even though they will tell you it does, or that there is "something bothering you" about the question. That is a load of crap. The important thing is if you are "bothered" by your ANSWER to the question. Not the question itself. There is a difference. For example, if I asked you "have you had sex with your sister?", you'd likely be "bothered" by the question, but not by answering "NO!" to that question.
Read "The Lie Behind The Lie Detector" which can be downloaded on the home page of this website. It explains in detail the fraud behind polygraphy.
