I have to take a polygraph to verify an interview I had and I fucking lied on the interview about a lot of shit. Lied and said I’ve never done anything illegal. Bitch I pirate stuff all the time. Lied and said I’ve never drunk alcohol underage. Lied and said I don’t have a “secret side” (me supporting LGBTQ+ rights and reading thqt stuff is a secret side, as well as porn bc I live in a conservative family and environment) Also said I have no foreign contacts but I talk to foreigners online all the time. I also mentioned this to my mom but fudged the details bc of stuff she’s disapprove of and I think she knows I’m doing things she dislikes and even worse, thinks I’m into shady things I think I’m screwed at home and for this polygraph
Polygraph tests have been proven to be inaccurate, on multiple occasions.
If a company is using one, they're a ducking idiot.
Also what kind of job uses a goddamn polygraph test? What are they? The secret service? A securities company? An international spy organization?
Just shove a goddamn piece of research in their faces and tell them to go pu...... 2 reply
Polygraph tests aren't accurate. They can have their uses, but the symptoms they measure to "detect lies" can indicate so many things aside from that. Basically all they're doing is measuring how nervous you are and assuming you're lying based on that, even tho there's sooo many other variables that could cause the symptoms they're looking for. reply
