Polygraph Tests are JUNK.
I headed security in a former life and a polygraph had one purpose. The test intimidates gullible ignorant, usually young suspects into CONFESSION.
Polygraphs are junk science, guilt by intimidation.
If you are asked to take a polygraph test, just say no they are junk science.
If you still must take the test, remember it is an intimidation tool. Verbally trash the examiner theoughout the test that it is unreliable junk, that he lies, it is false accusation and not used in court.
Finallly, never ever confess when under a test.
The secret is out. Shhh.

I was a cook at an interstate restaurant, and corporate HQ brought in a polygraph guy to investigate thefts there. I agreed to take the test, and I failed. I wasn’t stealing anything, and the test agreed there, but I failed the questions about if I knew who was stealing. I didn’t actually know, but I was pretty sure it was one (or maybe even all) of three or four people. All of those people refused to take the test. The end result was that nothing happened.
