Just always remember that a reaction to the questions means nothing really, particularly if you can explain it.  For example, I know someone who told me he got a big reaction to the question about drugs and another question about whether he ever commited any rape, molestation, or other sexually based offense.  

Well when he was sixteen he found his father dead in the living room from a heroin overdose and the subject of drugs always upsets him.  He sister was raped by a stranger and they never caught the person.  He was able to explain that to the examiner to justify his reaction on that series of questions.  

Hopefully, you can point to some concrete things if you react to specific questions.  But also bear in mind that one of the purposes of the polygraph is to try to coerce an admission or confession out of you, even if you didn't do anything.

Well I've decide I'm just gonna go in there and get hooked up to that electric chair and let the good times roll. I mean, I know that the needles gonna go crazy.....it's happened to me before. And when they ask why, I'm just gonna say that the questions bother me because I know they are disqualifying questions. I'm not going to confess to things I didn't do....It'll be up to the polygrapher to believe me and write in his report whatever it may be. Using countermeasures and things of that sort will only get me busted and thrown outta there.

Are there any formenr polygraphers or current polygraphers that visit this site that thinks my plan is a sure way to fail....or a slight chance to pass?
