Is polygraph test reliable ? Doesn’t it fall under pseudoscience ?
It is not reliable at all, and yes, it is widely considered to be psuedoscience. Yes, this is a batshit insane scenario
Yes, morons still believe in it, yes, he is a moron.
That and just looking for an excuse.
It’s more of an anxiety-detector. It has no basis in fact.
You can even train to beat them, so it’s definitely not a reliable method.
And, I would assume, if anyone had done that training it would be FBI agents.
Lol right? This seems more like a “can you beat a polygraph test” test, than a loyalty test
It measures things accurately but this has absolutely nothing to do with identifying if someone is telling the truth or not.
What a bitch.
government of fragile masculinities
So wait… It’s not Tiny Dick Syndrome?
And you thought J. Edgar Hoover was paranoid.
Is he short? Seems like a short kinda guy
5’9”, but I can see that Short Height Indicator Type all over him, some people call it being SHITty
Youd think all the evil would weigh him down even a touch
That’s short
Maybe according to tinder. In reality that’s pretty damn average.
No, I’m just 6’5"
Edit: downvotes? Do you reject reality and substitute your own?
Edit edit: apparently it’s just an “I’m angy that I’m short” button
Do you reject reality and substitute your own?
Quite literally what you are doing by calling the exact average for a US male, short, just because it’s not freakishly tall like yourself. Some self awareness may be in order.
You don’t seem to understand.
I am literally 6’5". That fact is being disagreed with.
Furthermore, y’all are short.
“The truth is like poetry, and everyone I know fucking hates poetry”
Happy cake day!
Happy 2 weeks,

Haha body shaming much funny
Probably is a job requirement for the position actually
Pretty sure I’ve read that it is, but the issue here is retesting employees that are already onboard.
What a dork-ass loser.
At least he doesn’t look paranoid…
Cops and pseudoscience go together like chocolate and peanut butter.
For more examples, see “bite mark analysis,” “911 call analysis,” “blood spatter analysis,” roadside drug testing with known false-positives, and even fingerprints (once the gold standard) have up to a 20% error rate.
And that’s not even getting into how their methodology is exactly backwards: they have a claim that they set out to prove, but do no work to disprove what they already believe.
but do no work to disprove what they already believe.
But that’s the LAWYERS job /s
I don’t know if it’s true (let me know if I’ve been taken for a ride), but I’ve been told that you can make it look like you lie on a polygraph simply by contacting your anus and slowly unclenching while answering, throwing their analysis out the window.
Really puts the “anal” in analysis, if true.
I think it’s only been used to convict 1 person but, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optography
Enforcing polygraph testing will invariably make people less trusting of you. There needs to specific reasons that target specific people.
As if anyone trusted Patel anyway.
I’ve never seen such a clear-cut case of fucking crazy eyes in a “man:”
That’s drug induced and you cannot convince me it isn’t.
Yes I support the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic 😏
And the ones behind the FBI director’s back.
At this point, we’re gonna end up have two “congress”, two “supreme court”, two “president”. Two groups of people having their own definitions and interpretations of what “The Constitution” means.
A Divided States of America
Coming soon in the 2029 season of
USADSA (Divided States of America)I welcome that. It is better than living in the Fascist States of America for the rest of my life.
Isn’t the FBI trained to beat polygraphs though?
Only in as much as they know it’s bunk that only works if the participant believes it does.
MAGA: The real snowflakes
The “original” snowflakes. “I can’t drink from the same water fountain as a colored person!” Type of people.
Good thing polygraphs are junk science that doesn’t work literally at all.
Good thing the system already selects for people that can pass polygraphs without much issue.
It is also junk technology.
Why do none of these clowns know polygraphs don’t work
Comparing them to clowns is an insult to clowns.
🤡 We demand to be taken seriously.
Because of a general sense in the population that they do work. It’s kind of a myth of super competence.
Real leaders don’t need to be paranoid about what their underlings think about them. Fascism is more fragile than it appears.
“[Their] need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”
Fear and greed. Who is that quote by? It’s great.
Believe it or not, it’s from the Star Wars tv series “Andor” of all places. That show was really too good for its source material.
True. And real leaders don’t want to lead.
Real leaders would take the time to understand why someone doesn’t like them, do a little self reflection to see if it’s either a valid point or just a perception issue, and then work to fix the issue if there is one. If it’s just a person who just doesn’t like them but is good at their job, just ignore it. If they are truly not a good fit or just a bad actor who just thrives in negativity, then you either find a better fit for them or then you fire them.
I’m very much a pleaser type personality but if someone doesn’t like me for whatever reason, I don’t really sweat it if it doesn’t affect me personally. Most people like me but not everyone and that’s ok. This constant need to be surrounded by yes men and sycophants is just disturbing.
