Polygraphs are often used by employers as additional tool in the search for employees, as well as an assistant in internal investigations. The procedure for passing an interview on a lie detector is carried out on a voluntary basis. However, a refusal may affect the employment decision or serve as a reason for dismissal.

The polygraph is a technically sophisticated device for appearance laptop-like. TO mobile device sensors are attached, which are fixed on the subject during the test. To read the reaction of a person, a tonometer is also used, which establishes changes in physiological readings:

• epidermal resistance;
• pulse rate and contraction of the heart muscle;
• function of individual parts of the brain.

The developers of the lie detector claim that if the subject lies, withholds information, then the body unconsciously reacts to the fear of being discovered. For example, sweating increases, breathing becomes irregular, blood pressure rises.

The principle of operation of the device

The essence of the polygraph is to measure physiological processes during the testing period. Sensors are fixed in the chest, abdomen and phalanges of the fingers of the upper extremities. Indicators are displayed on the screen of the device in the form of a diagram.

In order for the test results to be accurate, the expert adjusts the detector before the procedure. The device notes the emotions suppressed by a person in the form of peak indicators. Thus, this is the principle of the action of passing on a polygraph.

Before starting the procedure, a list of questions on the polygraph when applying for a job are discussed. This is necessary for the applicant to adequately perceive the test. In the process, a person will have to be almost immobile, so you need to be comfortable. The room in which this type of interview is conducted is soundproofed. The brain reacts to external stimuli, which can negatively affect the test results.

On a note! Lie detector tests are a long process and take from 40 minutes to 2 hours.

How does a polygraph work

The duration of the procedure is affected by the number of issues indicated by the management as important. It should be borne in mind that testing is carried out after the written consent of the subject. However, the information obtained through the procedure is confidential.

Groups of questions for testing

Before a person passes the test, the specialist asks in order - first from general questions on the polygraph. This is necessary for self-tuning of equipment for a specific test subject. Reactions to abstract topics are recorded so that the citizen gets used to the situation.

The block of basic questions interests the employer most of all. Popular tests for whether a person tells the truth and lies are:

• taking drugs;
• cases of theft;
• the presence of debts;
• a criminal record;
• whether contacts are maintained with competitors.

Lies are manifested by the following reactions of the body:

• increased sweating of the palms;
• increased heart rate;
• shortness of breath;
• jump in BP.

All readings are recorded by sensors that display information on the device screen in the form of a graph or diagram. The peak value specialist determines whether the applicant has deceived or not.

What questions will be on the polygraph when applying for a job - the employer plans. But after the main questions, there are always control questions. They are necessary to consolidate the results obtained, that is, to verify the correctness of the device and relieve nervous tension from the person.

When applying for a job

As a rule, the use of a detector is resorted to large enterprises and companies whose management meticulously selects employees. Most often, the matter concerns the maintenance of official secrets, if there is a high risk of espionage. Therefore, during employment, there is a strict screening of applicants. The use of a polygraph is also advisable in organizations whose administration is wary of theft in production.

At the legislative level, there are no restrictions on obtaining information about the applicant in this way. But there are also no standards for the use of lie detectors. Therefore, the candidate has the right to refuse the test. It is noteworthy that if the applicant passed the competitive selection or the person was approved for the position, then the refusal of the detector cannot serve as the basis for dismissal or employment.

Note: the employer can include in the main questions - information about previous place work, relationships with the team, the degree of performance of duties. Often, the directorate is also interested in future plans for the employer's company.

During scheduled checks using a "lie detector"

Conducting periodic polygraph checks deter the team from indecent behavior, offenses, and dereliction of duty. The measures have proven effective in ensuring information and property security at enterprises.

An integrated approach is aimed at identifying people who incorrectly use their powers. In addition, it is legal to establish a violation of the Criminal Code of Russia or the transfer of information to competitors on a polygraph. The purpose of routine testing may also be to prevent theft of property or money.

The use of a polygraph when applying for a job, as well as as a scheduled check, raises the following issues:

• espionage;
• theft;
• corruption;
• relationships in the workforce;
• connection with crime.

Of course, polygraph questions from the employer may not be so serious, but only relate to the level of employee productivity. If at work they are strict about paid time, then the use of social networks in the process of work, a violation of discipline can be regarded. If you answer the truth, then there is a chance to receive leniency in the form of a verbal reprimand, thereby reducing the risk of an official investigation.

How to pass a lie detector test

For people, lie detector tests are a stressful test. Therefore, experts recommend for those who are interested in a polygraph, and how to pass without problems - to calm down. If there are no violations of the law that affect the decision on employment, then you can deceive the lie detector.

Detector - Technical equipment, which is not able to distinguish between lies and truth. The device captures only the reaction to the question.

In the process of checking, you should remain still, look, if possible, at one point. To pass the test, it is better not to think about the question for more than 15 seconds. Quick answers do not allow you to retrieve negative pictures from memory that affect the readings of the device. But at the same time, you should not rush to listen to the question to the end and analyze the answer.

It should be understood that the specialist observes the facial expressions of the subject, looks at the reaction, evaluating gestures, intonation and even posture. A polygraph examiner, as a rule, has a specialty of a psychologist.

Control of reactions at the physical level

The equipment simultaneously captures different reactions of the body when answering the test:

• blood pressure;
• pulse;
• breath;
• the degree of resistance of the epidermis;
• brain reaction.

For your information: without the consent of the person, no one has the right to force the subject to undergo this type of test. In this case, the circumstances do not matter. Before passing the test, the management is obliged to provide an agreement for signing. If you have doubts or do not know how and whether it is worth taking a polygraph when applying for a job, it is better to refuse.

Several ways to get tested:

1. In order not to sweat your palms when answering uncomfortable questions, it is better to lubricate with an alcohol-based gel 40 minutes before the procedure. Means are sold in pharmacies. Experts note that the drug should first be tested, including for the presence of odor.
2. Breath control. It is worth practicing at home on the frequency of inhalations and exhalations. In such training, the principle of yoga breathing helps.
3. Concentration on an abstract subject. Thoughts and pictures should be about neutral subjects. For example, you can recall a photo of a pet in memory. You need to answer after you have presented the landscape. This reduces psycho-emotional tension.
4. Mental substitution of questions asked by a specialist. After editing the topic, you can reply.
5. Additional assistants in passing the test are alcohol, sedative pills, and pressure medications. It is better to take one thing, because abuse can adversely affect health and cause doubt in a specialist.

Refusing to take a lie detector interview

Passing the test on the detector is a stressful situation. There are several groups of people who, for medical reasons, are not allowed to participate in testing:

• pregnant women;
• deviations in the work of the psyche;
• the course of a serious illness;
• minor citizens.

There is a risk of getting incorrect results. This is due to strong excitement, which can be dangerous to health. In the case when a person gave the green light to undergo a test, but in the process notes signs of tachycardia, it is better to stop the procedure. However, a healthy, capable person has the right to refuse this form of interview.

Candidate Mistakes

It is a mistake to believe that complete calmness and lack of reaction during the test is the ideal solution, as they pass a polygraph when applying for a job. There is a chance that the specialist will doubt the results and the answers simply will not count. At the same time, the management of the company may have suspicions that the subject has secrets.

Hangover or intoxication affects the function of the equipment. However, this type of applicant or employee can negatively affect a person’s reputation. Most likely, the test will be rescheduled for another day.

An alcoholic employee is even worse for the company than a liar.

The probability of errors in the work of the polygraph

Developers and supporters of the device are ready to use the equipment in any incomprehensible situation. For example, they are used in work to identify employees who incorrectly perform official duties. They also strive to identify violators of discipline. But controversial situations about the reliability of the information received still do not subside. A number of experts completely rely on the results, while others note only 50% of correct answers.

Myths about error-free operation of the device are spread by those who are comfortable with people's fear of verification. Another category of such persons are companies providing similar services.

In many states, the readings of the device are not accepted as evidence in court. However, if the management uses this approach for an interview or review, then they trust the results. It is inappropriate to get into a conflict about efficiency or mistakes. Applicants or employees should weigh the pros and cons of the test. On the fact of the decision to sign the consent. In case of dismissal or refusal of employment, on the basis of refusal to test on a polygraph, you need to file a complaint with the labor inspectorate.

Preparing for a polygraph test

Just before the very lie detector test, both the customer and the subject must go through a series of steps for the most efficient and accurate testing. Our article will tell you in detail how to prepare for a polygraph test (lie detector). At the very beginning, the client must meet with a polygraph examiner to discuss the following issues:

• Is it advisable in this case conduct testing.
• What exactly should be found out from the interviewee.
• Is it possible to conduct an audit using a more accurate method (~100% result), and specifically: is there some information that only the client and the suspect are familiar with, for example, the exact amount missing from the organization, Money, the place where they were stored or the denomination of banknotes. Either way, this information should not be known to people not involved to crime.
• Choose a place and convenient time for checking. If testing will be conducted on the client's premises, it should be recalled: for an effective polygraph test, a separate room with a chair, table and electrical outlet is highly desirable. A comfortable chair for the subject and the detector will be delivered to the place by the polygraph examiner. Also, the room should not contain photos, paintings and maps, wallpaper with complex patterns, etc. Noise from the street should penetrate to a minimum, construction or a busy road outside the window are unacceptable!
• Discussions about the physical and mental health of the person being interviewed.
• Providing the polygraph examiner with comprehensive information about the subject of testing and the person(s) being interviewed.
• Signing a form of voluntary consent to undergo a polygraph survey and the processing of personal data.
• Discussion of questions asked to the undergoing polygraph examination
• Consultation of a specialist on preparing a person for a future test.

The preliminary stage is over. The following points define the preparation for testing directly the subject.

• First of all, he should visit the toilet. Attempting to control urination may cause less accurate readings of the device, and not in favor of the person being tested.
• The subject removes dirt from the hands with napkins or water.
• Filling out a form of voluntary consent to undergo a polygraph survey and the processing of personal data.
• Preliminary conversation with the aim of motivating the subject, clarifying the level of intelligence, as well as personal characteristics. His reaction to the topic of the event under discussion is also determined.
• The subject is explained the rules of conduct during the polygraph examination.
• The device is configured. Sensors are put on the person being tested.
• Conducting tuning tests allows you to solve the following tasks:
  1. This allows the person to become accustomed to the test procedure and the connected sensors.
  2. The polygraph examiner can calibrate the device directly under the subject.
  3. It turns out whether attempts were made to deceive the polygraph examiner during the polygraph (alcohol, sleeping pills, etc.).
  4. Determination of the symptom complex, i.e. finding out how the subject emotionally reacts to his own lies, finding effective sensors.

• Each test includes up to 12 questions and takes about 5-7 minutes.
• After each test, there is a 5-10 minute break for the polygraph examiner to evaluate the received diagrams.
• Interview with the subject after testing and filling in all necessary forms and documents.

You should know that such a check is not a quick event. Just to find out, for example, whether a person has stolen something, at least 6 tests should be carried out, which will take at least one hour. In some cases, a polygraph test may take more than 3 hours. An approximate list of questions that are asked on a polygraph should be viewed in this article.

Polygraph test preparation services

Quite often it happens that when applying for a job, the authorities may require a polygraph test. Today, such a procedure is increasingly being used both by individuals (for example, when selecting a nanny for a child), and when applying for a company. Also, a polygraph test is likely to be required when applying for responsible positions. When admitted to the OMON, testing is a mandatory procedure.

Many are sure that if they are honest people, and they have nothing to hide, then they will pass a polygraph test without any problems. But, in fact, this is not entirely true. There are a lot of factors that can distort the result, and in the vast majority of cases - not in your favor. For example, if you are very worried (and this happens to everyone at the first check), the device will show it. In addition, you must know certain nuances, namely, what you can and cannot do before checking. If it turns out that you took a sedative, even the day before the test, for the polygraph examiner it will look like an attempt to deceive the lie detector.

In the disclosure of cases of espionage. In an effort to make a lot of money, employees can spy on competitors. To establish such cases, you can use a lie detector test. It is completely anonymous and will not harm the company's image.

When appointed to positions of responsibility. The head of the department is a specialist who is ready to take responsibility for the events taking place in his department. He must be honest, principled and responsible. The degree of its veracity can be established using a lie detector.

You can't fool a polygraph.
Checking a person on a polygraph (lie detector) is a complex psychophysiological study based on measuring parameters that are not controlled by the will of a person. Answering the questions of a polygraph examiner - a person tries to hide some life moments, but the polygraph immediately determines this, since the person's breathing rate, pressure, sweating, and so on change.
Correctly and "accurately" asked questions guarantee the success of testing. If testing is related to theft, it is advisable to do it in hot pursuit, without disclosing the circumstances of the case. The details of what happened should be immediately reported to the polygraph examiner.
After conducting a lie detector (polygraph) test in Moscow, more than once a very close person from the customer's circle turned out to be guilty, whom the customer could not even think of. This information is very important, because initially - especially in Moscow, the customer himself determines who is right and who is not, and in some situations this leads the polygraph examiner off the right track and it takes more time to identify the culprit.

Even if you think that the polygraph test is not for you, you may someday have to take it too. This type of testing is often used when applying for a job in large corporations, checking staff members, or when checking information when approving a loan or insurance. How to pass it with dignity and keep your secrets with you, you will learn from this article.

website I decided to find out if the inner mood affects the success of passing the test and whether it is possible to prepare your psyche correctly. And at the end of the article, a bonus: in what cases can you in good conscience refuse to test.

How does a polygraph work?

By itself, the polygraph, of course, does not track lies. It captures the physiological changes that occur in the body when a person lies: pulse, sweating, breathing rhythm, pressure.

State-of-the-art detectors can track up to 50 different reactions, such as capillary dilatation, an instantaneous response to a shocking question. But still, most companies use a standard reaction study.

Experts say that the interpretation of the results is more an art than a science, since these results are highly dependent on the qualifications and experience of the polygraph examiner. He must select questions for each person, take into account all the differences in physiology in different people and be able to interpret them correctly.

6 ways to prepare the psyche

1. Get ready physically

Take care of yourself the day before the test. You must:

• get enough sleep;
• not be hungry or overeaten;
• feel comfortable in your clothes.

It's okay to be nervous. Moreover, it will help to successfully pass the test. The results of those who are nervous about each answer, according to statistics, are the most accurate.

If it seems to you that due to nerves, your results may be misinterpreted, then the following technique will do.

To test your basic physiological responses, you will be deliberately forced to lie with the help of control questions. They are fairly easy to distinguish from important because they are general rather than specific.

And here be careful. If you start to get nervous when answering everything control questions, then when answering important questions, your reactions will be regarded by the polygraph as “true”, especially if you deliberately try to remain calm.

• Security question example: "Have you ever stolen?"
• An example of an important question: "Did you steal anything at your last job?"

You can make yourself nervous by thinking about something unpleasant, scary, or trying to solve some difficult task for you in your mind.

3. Try not to lie about the little things

If you have nothing to be ashamed of and hide, try to answer the truth to all questions. The more often you tell the truth, the more accurate the results will be. People often tend to lie about small things, and they are sure that they will be asked trap questions during the test.

But experts assure that the questions are asked as simple as possible, according to the very ethics of testing, and there should be no surprises. Moreover, you will know them in advance even before testing. This is done in order to eliminate the reaction to novelty.

4. Take your time

Depending on the specific testing, each question can be asked 3 to 6 times. Therefore, there is no need to hurry with the answer, the very feeling of haste can distort the results.

Listen to the question to the end, realize whether you really understand what you are being asked, tune in - and only then answer.

This method is considered successful, but is suitable only for those who really know how to control themselves. Because it’s easier to get nervous and cause negative reactions than positive ones.

Thinking about the answer to the question and realizing that you need to tell a lie, imagine something that is as pleasant as possible for you. Or be relaxed throughout the test. Create in your imagination a kind of carefree world that will help you stay calm: let these be the most pleasant dreams, and then the reaction of the body will be perfect!

Hello dear readers! Today we will talk about how to pass a polygraph without problems when applying for a job.

This assessment method is becoming more and more popular. It is used not only by special services, but also by employers when selecting candidates for vacancies. Many are afraid of this procedure. We want to assure you that it is quite possible to pass a polygraph without unnecessary problems. This will require some preparation, acting skills and the ability to control the reactions of your body will come in handy. The ability to abstract and switch thoughts can help.

But with chemical and pharmacological agents, you should be careful. There is a possibility of harming your health and creating a bad impression.

How the lie detector works

The modern polygraph is a complex technical device. Outwardly, it looks like a computer with many sensors that are connected to the subject.

The device simultaneously registers several different reactions of the body when answering questions. Among them:

• blood pressure;
• pulse;
• breathing rhythm;
• skin resistance;
• changes in different parts of the cerebral cortex.

At the beginning of the session, the expert asks general issues usually associated with biographical data. They are needed in order to configure the device for a specific person. Record his reactions to neutral questions. At the same time, the subject gets used to the testing situation.

1. Have you taken drugs?
2. Have you stolen at work?
3. Do you have debts?
4. Were there any convictions?
5. Are there links with competing organizations?

If the subject is lying, the reactions of the body give him away: his hands sweat, the rhythm of heart contractions and breathing changes, and pressure surges occur. Sensors record all this and display the information on the screen in the form of graphs. An expert on sharp drops concludes that a person is lying.

End the session Control questions. They are needed by experts in order to once again be convinced of correct work device and remove the voltage of the subject.

Lie detector test procedure

Before starting, the polygraph examiner gives detailed instructions to the subject and connects the sensors. The duration of the candidate screening session is several hours. If the expert suspects the subject of trying to trick the device, it can drag on even longer.

How to pass a lie detector

It should be remembered that without your consent, no one has the right to force you to take a polygraph. It does not matter in what situation such a need arose. You must first be asked to sign the consent. If you are unsure of your abilities, it is better to refuse immediately.

When preparing for a lie detector, you should consider the advice of a polygraph examiner:

• sleep well;
• Do not be scared;
• follow the instructions;
• answer questions clearly and precisely .

And a few more tips from the polygraph examiner:

• It is necessary to take a comfortable posture without unnecessary tension. Immediately warn if any factors cause discomfort. Movement during the session should be minimal.
• In order to correctly pass the polygraph, do not rush to answer the question until you have listened to it to the end and understood the meaning. But don't think too long.
• Don't dive too deep into your memories. If, when asked about theft, you go over the events of childhood, when in the sandbox you borrowed a spatula from a neighbor without permission or mistakenly took a pen home from work, nothing good will come of it.
• Do not interrupt the polygraph examiner and do not argue with him. Do not seek to evaluate how the specialist reacts to your words, whether he believes them. Don't ask him questions. Especially it is not necessary to specify whether the polygraph can make a mistake. This question calls into question the significance and professionalism of the polygraph examiner. Calls automatically negative emotions to your address.
• Be confident and kind. The polygraph examiner will interpret the results. If he has a favorable impression of you, it will probably have a positive effect on the polygraph test report.

How to cheat a polygraph

If you still have something to hide, some tricks can help not to give yourself away. Although they are not easy to apply.

First of all, you should overcome your fear of the procedure. So it will be much easier to control the responses, emotions and indicators of the body.

From the very first question, you should evoke non-standard reactions in yourself. This effect can be obtained through:

• pain sensations (pinching, scratches, injections with a button);
• sedatives;
• a state of fatigue or drowsiness;
• emotional thoughts;
• bladder overflow.

Thus, fluctuations in physiological responses when answering obvious questions will be quite high. They will be accepted as normal. Bursts when answering meaningful questions will seem less contrasting.

As noted above, the lie detector does not react to the lie itself, but to your reaction. Believe in what you say. If a person is absolutely convinced of the truth of his words, the excitement is minimal. No wonder they believe that the best way to deceive a lie detector is obtained from actors and pathological liars.

Think over your story in advance, all the subtleties and details, motives. Rehearse the lie detector procedure with someone close to you. Preferably several times. Let your assistant evaluate how natural and harmonious the answers to compromising questions sound.

Control of physiological responses

There are several techniques that will allow you to control physiological reactions:

• Your palms will sweat less when answering uncomfortable questions if you pre-treat them with a special ointment based on salicylic acid or alcohol.. You can find the remedy in any pharmacy. First, you should test it. The smell may give you away.
• We must not forget about the frequency of inhalations and exhalations. This is one of the physiological indicators that can be learned to control. However, it takes practice.
• Another method - focus on a neutral object. Let your thoughts be occupied by some painting with a neutral plot, for example, a still life with fruit. When answering all questions, think about what is shown on it, how the frame looks. This will lower the emotionality.
• The method of replacing questions works in a similar way.. Mentally change the question of the polygraph examiner and answer it.
• Alcohol, sedatives, sedatives, drugs to lower and increase pressure, of course, will complicate the work of the lie detector. The main thing is not to overdo it. This can negatively affect the state of health or cause suspicion.

Who can't take a polygraph?

Lie detector test - a strong psychological stress. There are several categories of people who are categorically contraindicated in its passage:

• women in expectation of a child;
• people with mental disabilities;
• persons with serious diseases of the body;
• children.

The point is not that the results can be unreliable. Excitement during the procedure can adversely affect their health and cause dangerous consequences.

Candidates with colds, signs of overwork, in a state of alcohol or drug intoxication are also not allowed to test. It is pointless to believe such a study..

If you agreed to a lie detector, but in the process you realize that your heart is bursting out of your chest, stress is going through the roof, ask to stop the procedure. You shouldn't put yourself at risk.

The main mistakes of candidates

• Without emotionality.

It is not true to believe that the complete absence of emotional reactions to all questions is the best solution to the problem. Most likely, the expert will suspect that something is wrong, and the result will not be counted. The employer, although they will not receive confirmation, will be sure that you are hiding something.

• From a hangover or podshofe.

The state of intoxication or a hangover can mislead the polygraph. But, it is highly likely that a candidate who appears in this form for verification will still be refused even without a lie detector. An employee who drinks is even worse for an employer than one who hides the truth.

• If you can't lie - don't take it!

Experienced polygraph examiners know about the methods of deception, try to identify and prevent them. Before testing, the candidate may be asked to undergo an inspection for the presence of foreign objects: buttons, paper clips, pins. It will be quite difficult to explain the presence of a sharp clerical object in your shoe.

If the expert notices that you are focused on extraneous thoughts, the verification procedure can be very long. Even in this case, the results may be recognized as unreliable, and you will never get the coveted position.

Can a polygraph be wrong?

Proponents of the lie detector tend to use it in any ambiguous situation. For example, they use a polygraph at work in order to identify unscrupulous employees, to identify a troublemaker or a thief.

However, disputes regarding the reliability of the test results do not subside. Some experts fully believe in its capabilities, others argue that the device fails in 50% of cases.

The assertion that the polygraph does not make mistakes is very convenient for intimidating test-takers. It is also beneficial to those who sell lie assessment services using a detector. But this does not confirm the absolute effectiveness of the device. For example, courts in most countries do not accept instrument readings as evidence.

However, if the employer has decided to use a lie detector when evaluating candidates, he fully trusts him. It makes no sense to argue after testing and claim that the polygraph was wrong.

Just do not forget - the company has no right to refuse to hire or dismiss based on the results of a polygraph. If you were informed of a refusal on this basis, feel free to contact the labor inspectorate with a statement. The law is on your side.
