Obviously, the interviewer is implying about loyalty to the state (“state” as in country, not a US State) or to an administration, and I know that they are implying that. But I am not loyal to an administration. But I know that’s what they actually meant.
How would the polygraph interpret it if I say “Yes”, because I’m answering based on my interpretation of loyalty to the constitution, but deep down, I full well know the implied question the interviewer is asking.
🤔
They flat out DON’T work at all in detecting lies. Well documented as total fraud. Polygraph just means ‘many graphs’, which is all they produce: many graphs of sensors output not having anything to do with honest or dishonest responses.
Well, they sense physiological changes associated with dishonesty (stress/nervousness). The problem is they can’t pick up false positives (someone being honest despite being nervous under interrogation) or false negatives (someone who can remain totally unfazed while being dishonest).
So while technically they do have something to do with honest/dishonest responses, it’s nowhere near a direct enough correlation to be useful for the purpose.
The changes they pick up on are responses to a lot of different things, not just lying, so even the premise is fatally flawed.
That’s what I meant by “false positives”. They are measuring responses related to lying, but not exclusively and not reliably.
I wasn’t correcting you, or saying otherwise. Just condensed version of what you said, and adding that it just makes the whole idea flawed from the outset.
Yeah, but they circle parts of the graphs with red pen so it must be real!
