Most Think They’d Beat a Lie Detector

If you had to pick someone in your life who would THINK they could beat a lie detector . . . who would you pick?

A poll asked people if they thought they could pass a polygraph test, and 67% said YES . . . 8% said YES, even if they were lying . . . and 6% said NO.

The group most likely to think that they could beat a lie detector test even if they WERE lying is:  Men, between the ages of 18 and 29.

Many people don’t seem to have a lot of faith in lie detector tests.

12% say they believe polygraph tests “often” wrongly label people who are telling the truth as lying.  Another 43% say it probably happens “sometimes.”

And 13% say they think polygraph tests “often” wrongly label people who are lying as being truthful.  Another 45% say it probably happens “sometimes.”

Or maybe they were LYING about their feelings in this poll?
