Interesting how experts believe in the "power" of polygraph to ferret out the truth and non-truths shared by a potential job candidate, in many ways like doctors who rely far too often on one-pill cures to treat their patients.
You've seen time-after-time how serious diseases like cancer can be beaten naturally and safely. Altering the results of a polygraph test, among many employers considered the gold standard, can be just as easy by altering your blood pressure and heart rate. A few ways to do that:
- Alter your breathing patterns during questioning.
- Think about things that excite or frighten you.
- Bite your tongue.
- Elicit a small pain response by inserting a tack or nail in your shoe near your toes and pressing down when asked a control question.
Again, I'm not encouraging anyone to lie to a potential employer. Trusting a machine to tell you the truth or a drug to solve a health issue, however, can be harmful to your business and personal well-being.
