How Can I Take a Lie Detector Test?

Getting a lie detector test is a fairly simple process if you can access a private detective. Although there are many places all around the UK where you can find a professional private investigator to perform the test, many people have never used these services before. As a result, knowing what to do can be a bit confusing the first time around.

If you wish to take a lie detector test, there are some simple steps that you can follow.


Step 1: Find A Professional Investigator Close To You

In many ways, finding a professional investigator is the toughest part of the process of taking a lie detector test. It's not for lack of private investigators in the UK, it's because when it comes to private investigators, you should limit yourself to only the best professional investigators. This means having to go through the process of eliminating investigators who don't fit the bill.

Some of the methods you can use to identify a good private investigator include:

  • Asking for recommendations for people who've used or taken lie detector tests from private investigators before
  • Asking professional associations for recommendations
  • Going through reviews of the investigators online

A private investigator that's nearer to you is a better choice as long as you're not sacrificing the quality of service. If the investigator is coming from far, you'll have to cater for their travelling expenses. They may also find it hard to book you between their other jobs.


Step 2: Reaching Out To The Private Investigator

Once you've identified a suitable private investigator, you'll need to reach out to them and find out if they are willing to take on your case. It might surprise you but a private investigator may not be able to take on your case for various reasons.

Some investigators' schedules are fully booked for several weeks while others might not be in a position to travel. There are even others who may not want to take on the case depending on the details.


step 3: Planning The Investigator's Visit

If the investigator agrees to take your case, you'll need to make a booking, which will include paying a non-refundable deposit in many cases. This will also mean having to agree on the finer details of the lie detector test such as:

  • How long the test should take
  • How much it's going to cost you to take the test
  • When the test will be conducted
  • Where the test will be taken
  • How many people will be taking the test

Step 4: Taking The Actual Test

On the day of the test, you'll need to meet the investigator at the agreed upon venue for the test. A professional investigator will arrive early so they can take some time to make preparations. This could be setting up their equipment, briefing the subject on how the test will be conducted and ensuring the setting is well suited for the test.

Once the preparations are done, they will be able to go ahead and start the test.


Step 5: Post-Test Interview And Results

Once the private investigator has completed conducting the test, they usually perform an interview to finish up the details.

Once this is done, the investigator will take some time to analyze the information collected up to that point before giving you the results.
