can you pass a polygraph test with a little white lie?

Are you kidding?  Those tests are a joke.  If you can make yourself believe you're telling the truth, then your body won't change when you say it.  Your body might not change anyway.\n\nThe polygraph is bs.

Just what it says...if your are willing to lie to someone...you must hate them...to lie is to be deceitful

No state has any laws that can force someone to take a lie detector test.  Because they are not 100% accurate they are not admissible in court, so they are really only used voluntarily when someone wants to try to clear themselves in an investigation.

It is never ok. A white lie may be small at first but it becomes bigger in time. I'd rather tell the truth even though it may be hard for  someone to handle than  lie and decieve them. Do the right thing hun.

A polygraph (commonly referred to as a lie detector) is a device that measures and records several physiological variables such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration and skin conductivity while the subject is asked a series of questions. The measurements are posited to be indicators of anxiety that accompanies the telling of lies. Thus, measured anxiety is equated with telling untruths. However, if the subject exhibits anxiety for other reasons, or can control his anxiety level voluntarily, a measured response can result in unreliable conclusions. A polygraph test is also known as a psychophysiological detection of deception (PDD) examination.\n\nclick here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygraph#History

Employers are not allowed to use polygraph tests either as a condition of employment or as a condition of continuation of employment by law.  And it is that way for a reason, polygraphs can't be trusted; they are only accurate to something like 56% of the time.  They are easy to get around for those who know how, and often they give false positives for lying even when the person is telling the truth.\n\nAt no time should this manager ever tell or even hint at a polygraph test, it is an invitation to a lawsuit.  I would certainly suggest continuing investigations, maybe installing security cameras and increased security patrols from the security team, but no polygraph test for any reason.

You have the legal right to refuse to do a polygraph test. If you are being charged with an offense you were arrested and told your Miranda rights, one of which is the right to remain silent.\n   If you do voluntarily submit to the test , the results can be used as evidence against you in a future trial.

You ask awesome questions.\n\n ( see I found a way to lie)

I don't think your MS will have anything to do with the results of a polygraph test. It shouldn't cause another exacerbation either.

Yes, especialy if you think of the while lies prayer (or while waiting in line) before you see the priest.  In this time your working with the Holy Spirit to make a good confession.\n\nShould this "white lie" become a pattern, you and the priest can find ways to keep you from making "White lie's"...hence no lying.\n\nSay, that you told a friend, "You look great", but they didn't.  You've gone to confession, and made your act of contrition (to try and avoid this sin), but you just forgot to mention this white lie...well you're still forgiven.\n\nWhite lie's are mostly harmless.  However, it is not God's perfect plan, and you are slightly getting off the path he wants you on. When you get used to commiting "White lie's" over and over, then real lying gets easier.  When real lying gets easier, then other greater sins become easier.  When you acknologe to youself and to God that these "White Lies" are keeping you from God, is when true healing begins.\n\nMercy...it endures forever!

You cannot compel anyone to take a polygraph test. Not to mention that results couldn't be used in court.\n\nWhat are you using as a basis of fact? Just the word of your son? Or have you obtained reports about what happened. And most importantly, why are you bringing this up five years later? Please tell

Polygraphy is Quackery\n\nScientists overwhelmingly agree that polygraph "testing" is junk science. The only "raging debate" pits people who don't yet understand that it's flimflam against the growing number who do. \n\nOur government's stubborn reliance on this pseudoscience poses a clear and present danger: make-believe science yields make-believe security. \n\nThis non-profit, public interest website is dedicated to telling the truth about lie detectors that those with vested interests in perpetuating the polygraph don't want you to know. \n  \nThe lie detector is itself based on lies...\n\nDid you know it takes less training to give lie detector "tests" than it does to give haircuts? The longest polygraph school (run by the U.S. Government; perhaps its students are slow learners) produces newly minted polygraphers in just 14 weeks -- less than half the time it takes to graduate from a typical barber college. But while barber college graduates can cut hair, polygraph school graduates cannot detect lies. \n \nThe dirty little secret behind the polygraph is that the "test" depends on trickery, not science. The person being "tested" is not supposed to know that while the polygraph operator declares that all questions must be answered truthfully, warning that the slightest hint of deception will be detected, he secretly assumes that denials in response to certain questions -- called "control" questions -- will be less than truthful. An example of a commonly used control question is, "Did you ever lie to get out of trouble?" The polygrapher steers the examinee into a denial by warning, for example, that anyone who would do so is the same kind of person who would commit the kind of behavior that is under investigation and then lie about it. But secretly, it is assumed that everyone has lied to get out of trouble. \n\nThe polygraph pens don't do a special dance when a person lies. The polygrapher scores the test by comparing physiological responses (breathing, blood pressure, heart, and perspiration rates) to these probable-lie control questions with reactions to relevant questions such as, "Did you ever commit an act of espionage against the United States?" (commonly asked in security screening). If the former reactions are greater, the examinee passes; if the latter are greater, he fails. If responses to both "control" and relevant questions are about the same, the result is deemed inconclusive. \n\nThe test also includes irrelevant questions such as, "Are the lights on in this room?" The polygrapher falsely explains that such questions provide a "baseline for truth," because the true answer is obvious. But in reality, they are not scored at all! They merely serve as buffers between pairs of relevant and "control" questions. \n\nThe simplistic methodology used in polygraph testing has no grounding in the scientific method: it is no more scientific than astrology or tarot cards. Government agencies value it because people who don't realize it's a fraud sometimes make damaging admissions. But as a result of reliance on this voodoo science, the truthful are often falsely branded as liars while the deceptive pass through. \n\nPerversely, the "test" is inherently biased against the truthful, because the more honestly one answers the "control" questions, and as a consequence feels less stress when answering them, the more likely one is to fail. Conversely, liars can beat the test by covertly augmenting their physiological reactions to the "control" questions. This can be done, for example, by doing mental arithmetic, thinking exciting thoughts, altering one's breathing pattern, or simply biting the side of the tongue. Truthful persons can also use these techniques to protect themselves against the risk of a false positive outcome. Although polygraphers fre
