If someone has been diagnosed with MS recently could this affect their ability to take and pass a polygraph test?
Robinette
The answer is "it depends."
Multiple Sclerosis, by itself, does not interfere with the results of a polygraph. However, there are two scenarios in which your MS could interfere:
# You have a particular symptom (i.e. loss of specific muscle control) that the polygraph has trouble interpreting # You are taking a medication which causes either modification of your concentration or possibly modification of physical symptoms (increased pulse, increased perspiration, increased respiration, etc). There may be other MS symptoms that interfere with a polygraph, but these two are the most common. Your examiner will ask you about specifics when you are preparing to take your polygraph, including medications you are currently taking.

Polygraph operator.
Can you beat the polygraph?
Yes it is possible to fool a polygraph. Sociopaths for instance have no conscience so if they are asked if they killed someone, they don't feel any empathy or nervousness. When they say no often the polygraph registers this as the truth.
Can high anxiety effect a polygraph test outcome?
Yes. Polygraphs are designed to detect heightened levels of anxiety, they cannot detect whether someone is telling the truth or lying. Most people when they lie become anxious/nervous, however if someone suffers from anxiety or is particularly nervous the polygraph will also detect this. If the examiner refers to the polygraph as a "lie detector" then the chances are they have little understanding as to the function of the machine and would likely mistake someone with anxiety as a chronic liar.

Can someone get married and have kids if they suffer schizophrenia someone was recently diagnosed and is really worried about this?
Of course? It depends on how disabled this person is. Some schizophrenics are in fact smarter, faster and therefore better parents. Some are delusional and may try to kill the baby. There aren't any laws prohibiting it if that is what you mean.
Will Oreo cookies help you pass a polygraph test?
No, Oreo cookies are unlikely to help you pass a polygraph test. A polygraph test, also known as a lie detector test, measures various physiological responses such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration to determine whether someone is being truthful or not. Eating Oreos, or any other food, before or during a polygraph test is unlikely to have a significant impact on these physiological responses, and thus is unlikely to affect the test results. In fact, attempting to manipulate the results of a polygraph test is generally not recommended and can have serious legal and ethical consequences. It is best to be honest during a polygraph test and to follow the instructions of the examiner.
