I'm afraid that Polygraph tests are not 100% reliable. |

Actually probonopublico, polygraphs are pretty much completely reliable. All they do is plot various factors such as conductivity of the skin, heart rate, etc. However, drawing conclusions from these factors is what is not reliable. The machines are accurate, it's the people interpreting what the machine tells them that are not accurate. |

Research_help-ga ... Are you calling me a liar? (Only joking.) You could be right but, whatever the reason, Polygraph tests are not 100% reliable. (Very serious.) |

I'm with probonopublico on this one. The American Polygraph Association itself confirms that polygraph results are not only far less than 100% accurate, but that even their own research into the accuracy of the tests is never consistent: "Researchers conducted 12 studies of the validity of field examinations, following 2, 174 field examinations, providing an average accuracy of 98%. Researchers conducted 11 studies involving the reliability of independent analyses of 1,609 sets of charts from field examinations confirmed by independent evidence, providing an average accuracy of 92%. Researchers conducted 41 studies involving the accuracy of 1,787 laboratory simulations of polygraph examinations, producing an average accuracy of 80%. Researchers conducted 16 studies involving the reliability of independent analyses of 810 sets of charts from laboratory simulations producing an average accuracy of 81%." http://www.polygraph.org/betasite/apa5rev.htm In my professional opinion polygraph testing, as a means of determining ABSOLUTES, is almost entirely unreliable and therefore worthless. tutuzdad-ga |

You want to prove that you're truthful by using phony polygraph results? There is something deeply ironic in this situation. |

polygraph analysis is witchcraft, no better than graphology. James Randi has a million dollars to any polygrapher examiner who can prove in controlled conditions that he can reliably determine if someone is lying by using the results of a polygraph. |

Polygraph tests are so unreliable that many law enforcement officials will not allow them to be performed, such as a corruption investigation. My late brother-in-law told me once never to agree to one, they are so unreliable. Ask around for a detective agency which uses voice stress analysis. However, there are greater problems here. If you have truly done nothing wrong, and are facing false accusations, and your own family presumes you guilty, it seems as if you need to disown your family as I did some years ago. Worked great, I adopted my wife's family and have been very happy with the result. |

If polygraph examinations are so reliable, then why did Gary Ridgway pass? http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2001784456_ridgway06m.html ..."Ridgway came to the attention of police in 1983 because his pickup resembled one connected with one of the disappearances. In 1984, he took and passed a polygraph test..." ...after that he went on to kill a couple dozen more women. Besides that, for more examples, check this search string: "found guilty" "passed * polygraph" ://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22found+guilty%22+%22passed+*+polygraph%22 It's been proven time and time again that polygraphs are not reliable. |

Yes, there are some people who can lie without blinking, getting sweaty palms or having their heart skip a beat. Somehow I recall that the article I learned that from mentioned that many politicians have this facility. |
