FAQ: polygraph tests in Lviv — an expert answers

The polygraph is one of the most effective tools for resolving conflicts, investigating theft, testing fidelity and selecting staff. Below are the most common questions I get from clients every day.

1. How long does a polygraph test take?

The standard procedure takes 1.5 to 3 hours. The test consists of a consultation, instructions, calibration, the tests themselves and analysis of the results.

2. Can you fool a polygraph?

Practically no. Countermeasures — controlled breathing, muscle tension, sedatives — usually show up on the charts and the motion sensor, and the examiner notes them in the conclusion.

3. What questions can be asked in a polygraph test?

The questions are drawn up individually: about infidelity, theft, conflicts in the family or at work, financial matters or other situations.

4. Does a polygraph test hurt?

No. The procedure is completely painless: the sensors only record breathing, pulse, blood pressure and skin reactions.

5. Do you do infidelity tests?

Yes. It is one of the most common requests. Complete confidentiality is guaranteed.

6. Does a polygraph help investigate theft?

Yes. The polygraph is an effective tool for uncovering misappropriation, shortages, fraud or access to valuables.

7. Can I take a polygraph test if I have taken sedatives?

No. Medication affects physiological reactions and can distort the results.

8. Is the polygraph suitable for corporate screening?

Yes. The polygraph is widely used in recruitment, employee screening and internal investigations.

9. Are polygraph results official?

Yes. You receive a written conclusion that can be used in internal investigations and legal proceedings.

10. Is the procedure confidential?

Yes. All answers, reactions and results stay between the examiner and the client.
