You want to know how to pass a lie detector test?
Think about the first girl you were in love with, and think about the first time you had sex with her. I probably shouldn't tell you this, but then you will pass any lie detector test.

I've never really had much faith in the whole lie detector technology trip. I think there are certain parameters and if you can beat them you have it made. I'm not gonna get involved in this because I'm not planning to take a lie detector test any time soon.

Excellent idea. But you would not be able to do that with open questions. Only with the closed ones. If you're asked 'where were you on 25th April evening, the answer can't be a 'yes' or 'no'.

They're mostly used to pin crimes on anxious people

Next time I'm on Jerry Springer I'll keep this in mind.

Actually, there are polygraph systems that are unbeatable...in addition to the well established polygraph system, they include a real-time EEG analysis of the subject's brain activity; a Supercomputer that monitors for minute facial changes/movements, changes in the subject's iris/pupils, and vocal-stress; and an anal-probe which monitors and analyzes rectal tension throughout the testing procedure. These things, along with new testing procedures, are what make them unbeatable.
These are the types of polygraph systems that are now employed by the intelligence agencies of all major industrialized nations.

If you could make yourself believe a lie then all that new stuff is no issue. I suspect you would have to be boderline or true psychopath to pass the new ones.

These new, more invasive, examinations are designed to bypass the conscious mind and directly analyze the subconscious responses to various stimuli...so, whilst one may be able to "trick" oneself into "believing" a lie, ones subconscious mind knows the truth, and it is that truth which these examinations are designed to ferret out. These new state-of-the-art polygraph technologies have taken decades, and billions of dollars, to develop...the common shmo/criminal doesn't stand a chance. And, even if an individual is a sociopath/psychopath, or has undergone training in order to defeat the examination, the examination, by it's very nature, will quickly reveal these variables and the individual will be rejected (if s/he is going for a position in which highly-classified materials are being handled) and placed on a watch-list for the rest of his/her life.

Not really. Teach yourself, "method acting". It's the art of tricking yourself in to believing a false reality. You will readily pass any lie detector test, no matter how advanced, because mentally/physiologically: you become the lie. This is probably why so many actors end up fucked in the head, long-term, but that's a story for another day.

He's fucking around. There have been some fMRI studies done with subjects lying, but the results aren't too much better than the polygraph test. The real nightmare is trying to apply them to real world situations, where your subject hasn't been TOLD to lie about certain things. A test subject's mental state in the lab is pretty easy: Okay, gotta try and beat this so I can get the extra $20. A real criminal lying about stealing government secrets? Good luck.
You can tell he's trolling by the anal probe. Newer polygraph tests have a pad that lays across the seat to see if you clench your glutes to spike pressure. Nothing like a fucking anal probe. Just imagine how your typical person is going to react to something shoved up their ass. Nothing would be reliable.

Thanks for making this ebook available. Hopefully we will never have to make use of this information, but if future political trends continue their present course, I'm afraid many more of us will become acquainted with this technology than we ever thought. Scary times, indeed.

Fact: The only reason polygraphs are even talked about today is because of Maury Povitch.
