What kind of questions do they ask you in a lie-detector test?

when you have to take one for a law enforcement job interview? I know someone who has been trying to get a job in law enforcement and has failed this test 3 times. Don't you think that's kind of strange? Do you think this person could be dishonest or trying to hide something?

    diverse agencies/lie detector experts ask diverse questions. Trooper is right...even though it relatively is been my journey that the examiner will go over questions with you earlier you relatively take the attempt. that's the place they're going to make sparkling issues like this with you. Questions could then be altered on your particular difficulty. As on your marijuana use, they're going to extra advantageous than probably enable it slide. there's a lot of stupid stuff human beings do whilst they are youthful that departments are smart sufficient to realize have been basically that - stupid issues achieved by utilising immature childrens - good luck. replace: you're welcome. and that that they had not "rapidly" disqualify you for not being trustworthy....right here is an occasion i'm hoping will clarify what I recommend. i became asked basically before the certainly polygraph attempt, despite if I had ever stolen something, i discussed a pair small issues i ought to bear in ideas. Then, he study over the questions he'd be asking on the attempt. One became "have you ever stolen something different than what you have tole me?" I reported "particular" and that have been given his interest...he hadn't asked yet despite if or not there became something i could not bear in ideas. So he instructed me he'd rephrase the question to "are you able to bear in ideas ever having stolen something different than what you have instructed me?" nicely, whilst he asked that question for the period of the attempt, he worded it the 1st way, and that i answerd "no" by using fact at that 2d, I knew what he meant to ask....of direction the end result got here back humorous, and the subsequent 2 situations he asked that question, he worded it properly. that fairly is a protracted tale to get to a quick answer regardless of the shown fact that. while you're intentionally not truthfull, you purely approximately relatively won't get the pastime.

    No, what's kind of strange is that American law enforcement agencies are still using lie detectors.

    Study after study has shown that they don't work reliably.
