do you think you can fool a lie detector test?

Yes, because a polygraph DOES NOT detect if people are lying. Assuming you already know that, and that a polygraph only measures skin conductivity, heart beat, blood pressure and respiration, the polygraph will only work under the premise that your answers will affect stress levels. It's a very inaccurate way to tell if someone is lying

like

There is no standardized test for the polygraph operator to use, so each one decides which factors they will consider - that's why they need to do the calibration questions - and people who already knows that take steps to mess up the measurements (like thinking about something bad).

For anxiety people is actually better, cause the reactions are more noticeable - but still, they only measure stree, not actual lying

like

If you’re a pathological liar it’s easy to beat it. Since it reads pulse/breathing patterns, if you’re desensitized to lying then your body won’t respond to it.

DO NOT lie in the calibration questions - answer correctly but think about something that gives you stress (should be easy since we are all consultants)

Stick a thumb tack in your shoe and when answering the baseline questions, press down on it heavily enough to cause serious discomfort when answering truthfully.

OP, why do you need to take a lie detector test?

I don’t need to take one, I was just watching a lot of videos and was wondering how my anxiety would play out if I ever do take one (potentially for clearance)
