Ever taken a lie detector test?

I've known people who lied and still passed a lie detector test. I know there is a gimmick or something to help make this happen. Anyone know how to do this?

    The gimmick is to mess up the control questions they ask at the beginning to calibrate the readings. Give the machine the same response if you're lying as if you're not. This can possibly be done by inducing pain like hiding a pin in your shoe (As shown in Ocean's Thirteen) So you have the same stress levels when you're telling the truth as when you're lying.

    Yes I worked for a company that printed food stamps. And a box was found in the dumpster. So they gave us all lie detector tests to see if anyone put it there. They came to the conclusion that it must have fallen off while a skid was being loaded on to a truck.

    I hear if you just stay calm and put ur mind into believing something that you want -- you will pass it. Ussually it works that when they ask a question and you know the answer right away, your heart will beat fast, or sweat cuz your fighting to stay away from the truth and lie- hence you get booked for lying. Its just mental power really.

    yu can actually trick the lie detector test.

    just slightly move a little.

    and take like a few seconds to answer the questions.

    i saw that on some show.

    idk if it works.

    && no i havent!

    first they ask you regular questions, like say your name is joe, they will say is your name joe? so obviously you will say yes but when you say yes try to make yourself thinnk about something that scares you this way even when you are telling the truth your heart rate will act like you are lying so when you actually do tell a lie it will be the same as when you tell the truth, know what i mean ?

    try to think about scary stuff when they ask you questions like your name, your hair color (things that are true)

    and then think of something calm and happy when they ask you something that could get you in trouble

    if they ask you if you did drugs (and you did) pretend the word drugs is something that you didnt do like did you ever kill someone (hopefully your answer is no lol ) so when they ask you if you ever did drugs, think of them asking you if you ever killed anyone so when you say no your brain is thinking you are answring did you ever kill someone

    also when they ask you if you did something in your mind say yes but say no......so this way your body thinks it is saying yes but you blurt out the word no

    google how to pass a lie detector test.......

    there's two ways i know 1st one is put anti-perspirant on the place they will fix the sensors as this will stop you from sweating when lying and 2nd is to put a drawin pin or the like in your shoe and when ever you answer stick poke your toe against it whenever you answer so u the reaction will always be the same cos the its pain

    you have to change every few moments at random from tensing to loose and you have to breathe really hard then take barley any breaths, you can put a small pin on the bottom of your shoe and push down at random intervals. there are lots more, but it takes practise

    i haven't but yeah they are not 100% accurate. i don't think they should use them if they are not 100%.

    EDIT: yeah if they stay calm when they are lying then they can pass. because they say when you lie your heart starts to pump faster but if you can stay calm then you can pass. not everyone can do it though.

    ITS EASY TO PASS A LIE DETECTOR TEST,WHENEVER THEY ASK YOU A QUESTION THAT YOU KNOW IS A LIE,JUST REFRAISE IT IN YOUR BRAIN,F0R EXAMPLE,IF THEY ASK YOU HAVE YOU EVER MURDERED ANYONE,IN YOUR HEAD JUST REPEAT THE QUESTION.(HAVE I EVER FARTED ON ANYONE)?

    HMMMM HELL NO!! AND WITH THAT,YOUR BRAIN IS PUMPING ENOUGH BLOOD TO YOUR HART TO,MANIPULATE,YOUR BRAIN INTO THINKING HELL NO,I HYAVE NEVER FARTED ON ON ONE,BELIEVE ME,IF IT CAN GET ME OUT OF MURDER IT CAN GET YOU OUT OF ANY LIE DETECTOR TEST*
