With clear, short, TRUTHFUL answers.
During a polygraph test, a voluntary response involves conscious actions, such as the subject's decision to answer questions or control their breathing. In contrast, an involuntary response includes physiological reactions that occur automatically, such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and galvanic skin response, which are measured to assess stress or deception. The polygraph relies on these involuntary responses, as they can indicate emotional arousal that might be associated with lying.
The full scope Polygraph is any typical polygraph but it includes lifestyle questions. E.G. Have you ever had sexual relations with underage children?
A polygraphist determines whether a person has passed or failed a polygraph test by analyzing physiological responses recorded during the examination, such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and skin conductivity. The examiner compares these responses during relevant questions to baseline responses recorded when the subject was asked neutral or control questions. Significant deviations from baseline during relevant questions may indicate deception. Ultimately, the polygraphist interprets these physiological patterns to reach a conclusion about the subject's truthfulness.
Of course I'll submit to a polygraph test.
Yes and no. What polygraph machines do is monitor specific biological functions such as pulse and skin temperature. The polygraph operator asks a series of test questions with known answers to esatblish a baseline for the subject. When humans lie there are a few typical responses, such as an elevated pulse. The polygraph operator decides whether or not the subject has responded honestly or not based on the changes in the measured functions.
Taking a polygraph while having ADHD can be complicated. ADHD may affect attention, impulse control, and anxiety levels, potentially influencing the results of the polygraph test. If you have ADHD and are considering a polygraph, it’s advisable to consult with a professional who can assess your specific situation and the implications of your condition on the test's accuracy.
The first polygraph was invented in 1917 and was used for counterintelligence work during World War I. In 1938, the FBI began using polygraph examinations. The first polygraph to be used in a courtroom as evidence was on Dr. Francis Sweeney; a chief suspect in the Cleveland torso murders. He failed the polygraph test but was released later due to lack of evidence.

The polygraph test is not "proof-positive". The polygraph test is not completely unreliable.
A polygraph used in a criminal investigation (CI) typically includes questions designed to assess truthfulness about specific incidents or behaviors. Common questions may involve inquiries about involvement in a crime, knowledge of criminal activities, or intentions related to the investigation. These questions are often framed to elicit physiological responses that can indicate deception, such as changes in heart rate or breathing patterns. The exact questions can vary widely depending on the case specifics and the examiner's approach.
