How to Beat a Polygraph Test
Never been polygraphed but I always wondered about an alternative to the "emotional control" approach to beating it that is discussed in the article.<p>My alternative would be to trick my mind into not lying despite the question asked. So if I was asked "do you live in Chicago?" (i don't) and I wanted to answer yes, I would simply  internally ask myself "is your name loteck?" and then respond "yes."<p>I would ignore the actual question asked by the interviewer except to the extent I need to pick which internal question I would ask myself, of which I would only have 2. One for yes responses and one for no.<p>Anybody have any idea if this would work?
