How can polygraph testing help you?
You may think that polygraph tests are only used by law enforcers and detectives to uncover criminal activity or by covert intelligence agencies to winkle out spies. This rather thrilling image of polygraph tests isn’t entirely accurate, however. Polygraph testing has many more day-to-day applications that can help ordinary people like you. A polygraph machine is, after all, just a lie detector. Sadly, lies are a part of everyday life, so it can often be useful to be able to test if someone is telling the truth. Could polygraph testing help you? We’ve compiled a list of situations that polygraph testing could help to resolve. Are you currently dealing with any of these?
1. Do you suspect your business partners are being dishonest?
Running a business can be a difficult process, especially if you have reason to believe your business partners aren’t dealing honestly with you. Have funds gone missing? Perhaps your business rivals seem to know more about the inner workings of your company than they should? Whatever it is that has made you suspicious of a particular business, it’s important to deal with those suspicions as quickly as possible so that you can get back to running your business. Asking the individual you suspect of wrong-doing to take a polygraph test can either remedy your concerns or confirm the existence of a serious problem, therefore giving the opportunity to address it.
2. Do you think your spouse may be cheating on you?
It’s always tragic when a marriage (or a long-term relationship) runs into difficulties. If you’re going through a ‘rough patch’ and believe that your spouse or partner may be cheating on you, asking them to take a lie detector test can help you find out for sure and free you from the often nightmarish feeling of uncertainty.
3. Have you been accused of lying?
If you have been accused of dishonesty (in either a business or personal context), you may wish to volunteer to undergo polygraph testing yourself in order to prove your innocence. The sooner you can allay your accuser’s fears, the sooner you can resume your normal relationship with them. If you were accused of dishonesty in a business context, resuming good relations with your business partners is essential for the health of your business. If you were accused of dishonesty in a personal context, allaying the suspicions of those you care about may be vital for your own psychological well-being.
