OK Sup Forums I'm applying for a position (undisclosed) for the federal government after I graduate college next semester (which is also the time I will finally say goodbye to Sup Forums)

Anyway, they do polygraph testing.

Now, why do they do it is beyond me since I heard they are pseudoscience bullshit that is only 70% accurate.

Anyone have any knowledge on them? How do I beat it? General info?

just think of getting murderes or drowned in sement or some hoible shit when they ask the control questions. then the lying become inconclusive

There's the whole nail in your sock thing

When they ask "is OP a fag?"

Imagine they are saying "is OP a success in life?"
Then when you answer "no" it will appear as if you're telling the truth

Nah probably a myth

The interview while they are doing the poly is what they are actually looking for. A good tech will spot lying most of the time without even checking the poly.

Just be honest.

If they are giving you a poly they are probably interviewing friends and family - again, just be honest.

Underrated

You can beat them by being sociopath level calm. They aren't perfect and they no longer even hold up in court as evidence

Kek

They never held up in court as they are unscientifically proven to work. Yet jobs still use it, even the fucking FBI and Cia and shit use it during the hiring process when it is proven inaccurate.

Theyve never been admissible.

dumbass

>How do I beat it?
By believing everything you say

Why do you even care? It's not as if you're ever gonna get a job that important.

>unscientifically proven to work
you sound like a real expert

lol

dumbass

If you think something in your mind is true like you ate an orange for lunch and its true and say yes to the question they ask you'll beat it

How do I do that?

And how do I do that? I'll be pretty nervous as fuck. Any drugs to take to calm me down and slow heart beat? Ecstacy?

Do they drug test before/after?

This nigga does not have a government job lined up, he's probably being questioned by police for stalking some chick.

Because, it's really silly you fucking fuck.

If they ask if you are a troll - answer yes. Since you are.

2/10

dumbass.

Drink alcohol before to go to the interview, not so much, but don't be a pussy, just a little tipsy.

You can only beat it if you're a cold motherfucker. Or subconsciously freak the fuck out the entire time and bury the lie.

Lol if it was really the police, I wouldn't give a fuck and would even do it since it can't be used as evidence. It's for a job, which is why I'm really worried. I'm not the most perfect person.

take one benzodiazepine in the morning to help with anxiety. Take a day to test it out beforehand to see if you might need 2.
Take amitriptyline about 30 minutes before the test to help with sweating

This nigga applying for a federal job and is thinking of taking drugs TOP KEK you must be a chill dude to hand with

this.

OP is a faggot.

Fuck off

M8... Pretty sure that'll just male everything 100% worse lol.

It's just a scare tactic bruh, just go in calm and confident

Take LSD and then take this advice.

dumbass.

Yes this is what I've always heart. It's just an intimidat tool. Just wanted other people's input.

Thanks for proving my assertion.

dumbass.

just pretend everything you're saying is a lie

You reminded me, I have a Benz drug, propranolol. I might take that.

Police cant give a poly without your consent.

dumbass.

This and 50% of the interview is done when they are hooking you up to the machine. The idle chit chat the interviewer makes is not idle. People feel safe when the machine is not on so they inadvertently confess to dumb shit. Once you are hooked up it's a distraction to make it harder to keep a bullshit story straight.

This is a pre interview process. Dumbass.

Heard* intimidation*

Just act like you've got nothing to hide, and deny anything incriminating, claim you're nervous because really want job/first polygraph etc

put a small tack in your shoe and press your toe on it when you answer every question, keep your butthole clenched at all times once you're hooked up.

>OK Sup Forums I'm applying for a position (undisclosed) for the federal government after I graduate college next semester

KYS

>polygraph testing pseudoscience bullshit that is only 70% accurate.

Not even that accurate.

>How do I beat it?

Think of sex and tense your muscles during the control questions (name age etc.). That way you screw up the base line.

Can you give me more info? Like the tester has me connected, but he is small talking me the whole time in hopes of getting me to admit something?

Yeah that was what I was going to do

Cant even spell words, yet expect to fool a poly.

I was responding to you taking a police poly, since we all know you are making the part up about "a job".

You are such a poor liar, you are screwed.

dumbass.

So I have to be "nervous" during the first questions (name etc etc) to raise the base line, and then every question after that would be below? Wouldn't that be suspicious?

It's not a myth but a nail might make it difficult to walk normally, it could also trip a metal detector, and it would be difficult to explain why you have a nail in your sock if they search you for weapons.

Nice b8, but I'm not taking it lol. First of all its a typo, second Yeah I know dumbass, which is why I said I wouldn't take it.

you have to lie during the baseline test (calibration), that is all.

the whole test is then worthless!

Why? You don't usually have a nail in your sock? I hate when I find a nail in my sock. Happens like twice a week.

Refer to
Also how can I lie about my name? Lol

They ask you before hand all the questions. Just be honest and they will record the answers. Then they will strap you up and ask those same questions again, with the added "other than we previously discussed" portion. It is more about how much do you give upfront than if your lying or not. So just be upfront in teh initial interview.

It begins before he has you connected. Trying to get you to ask what ifs. Seeing if you are trying to get tips to "beat the test". The machine's results are not what matters, its the interviewers statement that counts.

You can beat them by taking 5mg of ambien and a bunch of caffeine. Watch ISIS beheading videos and on the control questions think about the screaming and blood to spike your response.
>sauce - beat 2 of them.
On the 2nd test we didn't do the 3rd run of questions because I was so flat.

That reminds me of a guy I shared an apartment in university. He used to work at an oil refinery during the summer. They did drug testing, so every spring he would lay off the weed and various other drugs for two months so that he would pass the test. After he had passed the test he would smoke again. Lesson: If you do drug testing, also test randomly and unannounced.

So basically keep consistent with answers

No, I'm an expert and this just make you feel like everything matter a shit so all the answer have the same feeling charge.

Hmm I see thanks, not planning to fall for his fishy tactics.

Kek... A bunch of law school students smoke weed, everyone is two faced

Thanks man appreciate the response. Looking at all my options now.

Also, if you're going in to a decently experienced tester they will try and establish a "friendship" with you before the test. They'll be jovial and friendly, and ask about your day. This is to establish a connection that would make you feel more guilty about lying. Remember he is the enemy. His job is to fuck with you. Be adversarial mentally, but not out loud.
The other tactic is to tell you how many of these they did, how accurate they are and blah blah blah. They'll intimidate you in to thinking it's unbeatable. That's a lie. They are beatable.

dear op, the polygraph doesn't test anything but your willingness to follow orders blindly.
Say no and you get a good job. Say yes and you will be a janitor in Abu Graib.

I see... Trying to establish psychological warfare into me. Again, I'll be wary of thier fishy tactics. Thanks for pointing this out. I would've been a dumbass and just went along with his "kindness".

Try and keep in mind there are:
Control questions: your name, you DOB, etc. Obvious truths
Baseline questions: stuff you'd maybe white lie about or everyone would be 50/50 like "would you ever steal" try and keep your response to these low. I use a mantra or focus on a clock noise or my pulse.
Test questions: these are the meat questions. These are the ones you want to focus on relaxing.

If you're going to use the ISIS example you'd want to do it on the control questions, the absolute truths, name, DOB, etc

Thanks man. Can you give me examples of some test questions? Is this where I should "relax" the most?

So basically

Control: relax

Baseline: relax ever more

Test: be the most fucking relaxed you can be?

Heh

Even*

Also of course I can tell what the control questions are... But how would I differentiate between which are base and test questions? Sorry for too many questions

You ultimately want your response to the baseline questions higher than the test questions.
So test questions would involve things established in the preinterview. You ever done drugs, ever bought a weapon illegally, ever communicated with radical fundamentals, ever posted anything racist etc

Control - think isis
Baseline - just answer
Test - focus on relaxing, distract yourself

Baseline are things like "would you steal" well in certain situations you might. "would you lie to your wife" No... But maybe... Those are the baselines, to gauge your lie or doubt response.

Test is "would you rape a 9 year old" there is no situation where that'd be OK.

Stay calm don't sweat that's how murderers pass

Its more than that. If you're not a sociopath, which some murderers are, you have to know and really believe they can be beat. AND THEY CAN BE. I'VE BEATEN THEM.

Thanks man... I'll be ready for this shit. I'm pumped.

Well murderes/sociopaths show no empathy to thier victims. They are basically cold hearted which is how they pass. Your heart may be beating like crazy after you've murdered someone with a knife and panicking on how to hide the body and clean the blood and shit.

A sociopath who did the same thing would just smile and have a stable heartbeat though the whole thing.

Kek

If you can get pharmaceutical assistance you'll be in even better shape. Ambien is a silver bullet but barring that blood pressure and heartbeat controllers like beta blockers are a huge help.
A few hours before the test apply antiperspirant to your hands, ALL OF THE SKIN BELOW THE WRIST. Let it soak in but wash it off before you get there. The antiperspirant will have soaked in by then. They will ask you to wash your hands, just dont be vigorous

forget about the nail in your sock bullshit and or any other faggotry you read on here..

the best thing to do is this.. see a doctor well in advance, you can do it through 2 methods, one is the over the counter non drug tested method, use maypop aka passionflower and benydryl to calm the fuck down. use both one is a MAOI inhibitor and will slow your anxiety, the benydryl will help manage a steady blood pressure and pulse.. those are both important factors on the test.. they Rx way is to explain to a doctor that you have a family history of heart disease and high blood pressure, say your dad and all of your grand fathers died from heart attacks.. explain that you have a fear of heights and your job sits you at a high office window with your anxiety to the max.. drink alot of coffee before the appointment, run a fucking mile, do what you gotta do to get your blood pressure through the fucking roof user.. your goal is to get benzos and bp meds.. neither are really strictly controlled and most docs will see you in a panic thinking its your heart rate and try to calm you down before going to a psych... tldr, get xanax and viagra faggot

This is probably stupid but never heard of ambien... Is it legal? Where to get?

As for beta blockers... I have propranolol. It slows my heart beat and make me less nervous for 30 mins.

And thanks about the anti sweat thing.


Have you ever done a polygraph yourself? How long was it? Do they drug test before or after? Thanks

Ambien is a prescription sleep medication, it's very common but a prescription.
Is right about zanax or anything anti anxiety as well.

Yeah m8 I have beta blockers which I plan to use. I'll also look into the caffeine thing. I don't wanna drug myself too much or I think it'll just make me high. I once took a lot of propranolol by accident and I was really really fucking relaxed and sleepy

I'm the guy that beat 2. They can test for benzo's but not heart medicine or ambien. Some do a breathalyzer before so booze is a no-no.

If it's common, I'll find it. Just don't want to fall asleep on the machine lmao.

Clench your asshole during the control part of the test, like during anynoart of the test you are not lying on, and then on a part you have to lie on, unclench

So are beta blockers good or are you not sure? Propranolol is "heart medicine" and is a beta blocker. If they do test for it, I'll def just go for ambien.

Hmm this clenching of the asshole tactic keeps coming up, I'll take a look into it.

The whole point is to see if you admit to things they already know about you. If you don't think the feds have everything on you by that point in the process, you're literally retarded. If you lie to them, you're even more retarded.

So you're joining border patrol huh? Wanna bust some beaners? The whole point of the test is to see if you'll crack like an egg. Just stick to your stories about how you never did cocaine and pleasured your anus, faggot

clench your sphincter before each question. This actually works too

I had an FBI interview years ago and I had to lie about previous drug use. I did alot of research for it at the time, everything went well, I got the job. This is exactly what I did. I didn't worry about the sweat part, i just told them i was nervous because I never did a test like this before and the job meant alot. You're right, you dont want to over do it, you want to have some normal red flags, like sweating and being a little anxious, but the trick is to be consistent, even when you are telling the truth. My name is, holy fuck im taking a polygraph Anonymous.. Good luck /bro

The creative part of your brain will still be firing, you will deep down know you are being deceptive, heart rate will pick up, breath rate/depth will change, a skilled tester will pick up on this no problem.

This person is talking some psuedo science left brain shit.. They dont have you hooked up to any brainwave monitoring at all. They are trained to look for visual cues, but remember if you are anxious at the beginning of the test stay that way for the entire test. Dont get comfortable halfway through thinking you passed, you dont pass until they call you with a start date.

>Trying to establish psycholigcal warfare into me
Are you retarded?

Not admissible in court but still effective. They will likely ask you some very personal shit like have you ever watched CP how many time a day do you masturbation do you watch porn have you ever cheated, drugs, etc.
Basically only way to beat it is if you're trained on beating it or if you're a psychopath.
Basically all fbi/Cia agents are either captain America and have done nothing wrong in their life or psychopaths.

No. They put a pad under your ass to catch this

Learn to read dipshit.
When you are being deceptive you use different areas of the brain to recalling facts, smells, or sounds. You ALWAYS have a change in pulse and respiration rate when you do this (exactly what they test). Sometimes it can be small but thats why they generally ask the same questions over and over to reduce error and take that 70% to a much, much greater figure. At no point did I talk about brainwave monitoring, my point is that thinking "today I ate an orange" Will absolutely not work in any way shape or form if you know you are being deceptive. It will light up like a Christmas tree in terms of pulse and respiration rate.
To effectively beat a trained poly tester you either need serious mental and physical training and knowledge or to honestly believe what you are saying. Next time read my response and understand it before talking a load of shit.
The best bet is to be honest for small stuff and if it's major and horrible stuff, refuse to answer and end the test.
You are not going to beat a poly run by trained professionals with any reliability, trying to will make you look far worse to admitting minor flaws.

Kek

Lies are caught on comparison to truths. Big response, against minimal response = lie. If you have a big response to truths and a large response to lies then they look equal, which means you're telling the truth.

propranolol is not benzo, its a beta-blocker, which in this case it might work even better than any benzo

Totally useless information unless you can perfectly match your heart rate/bp/respiration rate/depth while lying to when telling the truth.
Sure thats how it works, OP still doesn't have a shot in hell matching his truthful responses to lies.
