A shout without knowledge is a protest

Question

Help answer this question below.

I am taking a polygraph for a job in law enforcement and I'm kinda worried about it. See description.

For example, I have never (not even tried it) used illegal drugs. When asked, and I am honest, I am afraid that I will just be taken as a skilled liar since it is very uncommon for people under 30 to have *never* tried drugs. Further, since I'm nervous about answering truthfully, I am concerned that it will reflect on the test.

In general, I'm just nervous about the test. I'm sure they have provisions in place since everyone is nervous, but I just don't trust their systems. I have heard/read way too many stories from people swearing they were being honest but failed just the same.

I know I should relax, but that is a lot easier said than done. Anyone know what how this is going to work and how they handle being nervous?

    you may be a little paranoid.... i'd be suspicious if you looked anxious which you obviously are. relax! whatever happens happens and just deal with it from there.

    • it can't accuse you as such of being into anything. if you had any doubts in your mind then that's what it'll pick up on.

    • Well, the lady who was doing the exam said I had all the signs of being deceitful. So, does that mean that the agency is going to think I'm being deceitful?
