How to Take a Lie Detector Test

Private detective lie detector tests can feel a little intimidating. The idea of being connected to a machine that is able to tell if you're telling a lie while being questioned by a skilled private investigator is unnerving. However, taking a private detective lie detector test isn't that difficult.

If a professional private investigator is the one conducting it, you are unlikely to find the experience unpleasant.

It's important to tell the truth when you take a lie detector test conducted by a private investigator. If you're honest, you have nothing to worry about. If, however, you're planning to lie to the private investigator, things could be much harder for you.

The person taking the lie detector test is simply required to respond to the private detective's questions. You should disclose to the private investigator if you think there's a valid reason why your responses might not be what is expected.

Private investigators will also need to ensure that the subject is in the right physical shape and state of mind to take the test. Someone who is sickly, overly nervous, emotionally unstable, mentally unstable etc., can't be expected to produce accurate responses to the control or relevant questions asked by the private investigator. After the private investigator has established that both the subject and setting are ready for the test, they can then explain the workings of the test to the subject and conduct a preliminary interview.

Next, the private detective will ask them control questions followed by the relevant questions. The testing phase ends with yet another interview before the private investigator starts to analyse the data from the test.

If you need the private investigator to come to you, they'll most likely be willing to do so. You should remember that private investigators prefer to carry out the test in settings in which you're comfortable. This could be your home or office.

However, you should also take distance into account since you'll also have to pay for the travelling expenses of the private detective. However, if the private detective in question is a highly reputable one whose results are considered accurate, they'll be worth it.
