      It’s more of an anxiety-detector. It has no basis in fact.

      It measures things accurately but this has absolutely nothing to do with identifying if someone is telling the truth or not.

      It is not reliable at all, and yes, it is widely considered to be psuedoscience. Yes, this is a batshit insane scenario

      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
