Lifestyle Polygraph

[RgrPark]

I know that if you tell them the whole truth, generally you should be fine.
However, there are automatic disqualifers, such as repeated use of drugs...
Are there anything else u guys know of? (and i don't mean obvious things like murder)

do what my cousin did as a teenager in russia, tap yourself on the temple for a few months with a spoon, and you will forget everything (it got him out of the army, he married my cousin, and now lives here)

I don't even begin to understand what you're asking.

If you understand the methodology of the polygraph, it's fairly easy to achieve an inconclusive result. It's much trickier to beat one outright (though it's not clear to me whether this is your goal).

If well-administered, the polygraph is somewhat more accurate than not, but I know from experience with them professionally that they are far from infallible. I would never, under any circumstances, voluntarily take a polygraph that wasn't protected by the attorney-client privilege - they are powerful evidence, since most people don't fully appreciate how fallible they are, but they are very fallible indeed.

You are required to take them for some types of TS clearances.
