Its 100% about the Heisenberg theory, in that the fact that you observe something you change its outcome.

For example; if you are performing your job task at peak efficiency you will have NO problem. However if you have the POS bossman that looks over your shoulder you are more likely to screw-up cause of the nervousness factors.

So YES; polygraphs are BS!

I have beaten a poligraph 3 times. I was put on probation for a crime in which i wont say what it was and was subject to a poligraph every 6 months. i wasnt supposed to drink, or be out past 9 pm but i did all the things i wasnt supposed to do. and then i lied about them and at the end of my probation term i was releases with a more than satisfactory completion!

But notice what the polygrapher said...I'm "guessing" you wrote 23 but you want me to think it is 26.

If the journalist said, "no, that's incorrect," the polygrapher would have NO WAY to show that the journalist was lying.

If he knew he would have been able to tell him definitively that he wrote 23 but wanted him to think it was 26.

There are two ways to beat a lie detector test, one being MUCH easier than the other:

1. When you answer the questions with a lie, fully believe that lie to be the truth!

2. At the beginning all the way through the test, stub your toe or step on a tack. The detector will read your stress as high throughout, and become inconclusive.

The lie detector test is a glorified heart monitor/etc. All it does is measure changes based on your answers. It doesn't even hold up in court as evidence.

@Laborer192004 how'd you pass it?

@Laborer192004 but what did you do to pass?

When Aldrich Ames was asked how he beat the lie detector twice in the CIA as a soviet mole, he told them his soviet contacts gave him simple advice: Get a good nights sleep, arrive early, be confident and friendly with the examiner and try to stay calm. The truth is that the polygraph is a lie, it's a psychological tool that interrogators used to intimidate you into giving a confession. You're at a huge psychological disadvantage when you think they can read your mind.

@bmwsux4 That's not Heisenberg at all. The observer effect is often confused with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle probably because most people have trouble understanding it.
