If you where to be tested with a lie detector, would you be able

>>8811384
No

Lie Detectors aren't detecting truth/lie, they're detective if you have a spike in stress which is associated with lying. My father had a friend who couldn't get a job because they asked him if he did drugs. He didn't do drugs but his brother use to be an addict. He kicked his brother out of the house because he wouldn't stop storing weed everywhere and his brother killed himself that night. So when they asked him on the lie detector if he did drugs, he said no but his stress levels spiked because of the memories so he couldn't get the job.

Another friend was asked if he was a Russian Spy during the cold-war era for a job, and he was so offended by the question that the lie detector thought he was lying.

Wtf kind of job interview puts you through life detector? We they applying to be spies? :D

>If you where to be tested with a lie detector, would you be able to cheat it?
If they ask you "will you answer no to this question?" you will have no choice BUT to cheat it.

This.

Lies detectors are not allowed to be used as evidence in legal trials because they are so unreliable. Both false positives and false negatives. They are used in interrogations because people think they work which makes them admit things they otherwise wouldn't.

It's simple, if you are too stressed, the detector will think you lied everytime.

i don't even know how this lie detector is a serious thing.

>will you answer no to this question?
"maybe"

'Lie detectors' are pseudoscientific nonsense, only stupid burgers still believe in them.

I had one course with EEG and we did the detector thing once. I quickly realised how to give it fake info and managed to lie for quite some time. They found out in the end, but it was still a good score for the first time ever. So if you could practice it, you could possibly cheat it. It is also a question of how proffesional would be the guy who analyzes your answers.
Without practice and detailed knowledge on how it works - impossible.

this guy doesn't know shit about it.
they are obviously correcting for the base stress level

>>8812146

It's not about base stress level.

just remember, Jerry, it's not a lie if you believe it

>>8812146
Not the guy you're replying to, but lie detectors usually work by taking some readings where you are asked basic questions like "is the sky blue?", to gauge your "baseline" levels. The standard way to cheat a lie detector is to make yourself stressed while answering these (and all subsequent) questions, so that they can't pick out any spike in stress caused by lying.
