text: The polygraph examiner will ask a series of Yes or No questions based upon the information they have about you, or to get information out of you.\n\nThe test is pretty accurate.  They worse you feel about the event the greater the chances something will register if they ask have you ever stolen anything, or have you ever committed a crime.  if they ask about it be honest, that you shoplifted some stuff as a kid because you felt peer pressure.  Tell the truth but don't volunteer extra details.
