Common Q&A Questions
What is a polygraph test and how does it work?
A polygraph test measures physiological responses like heart rate, blood pressure, and electoral dermal activity, sweat gland activity, while a person answers questions. These responses are analyzed to determine whether the person is being truthful.
Is a polygraph test accurate?
When conducted by a qualified examiner using validated methods, polygraph tests are highly reliable. While no method is 100% foolproof, they are trusted tools for investigations, screenings, and truth verification.
Who can request a polygraph test?
Businesses, farms, lodges, private individuals, attorneys, and government departments can all request polygraph services. We tailor each case to your specific needs and objectives.
What can I expect during a polygraph test?
Before the test, you’ll go through a detailed pre-test interview. Then, you’ll answer a series of structured questions while the polygraph records your physiological responses. The entire process is conducted professionally and respectfully.
How long does a test take and when do I get the results?
Most tests take between 1 to 2 hours, including the interview. Results are typically available within 24 hours.
Are the results confidential?
Yes, all results and client information are handled with complete confidentiality and professionalism.
Can polygraph results be used in court?
Yes, polygraph results can be used in court in South Africa, but typically as supporting or corroborative evidence, much like fingerprints or witness testimony. While not usually the sole basis for a conviction, they can add significant weight to a case when used alongside other evidence and are often accepted in internal hearings, disciplinary proceedings, and civil matters.
Can Polygraph results be used in the CCMA?
Yes, polygraph results can be used in CCMA (Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration) proceedings in South Africa. While the results alone may not be enough to prove guilt or dishonesty, they can be submitted as supporting evidence during disciplinary hearings or arbitration. The CCMA considers the polygraph results alongside other evidence, such as testimonies, procedures followed, and overall context. Proper process and fairness in how the polygraph was conducted are essential for it to be considered credible.
Are your polygraph examiners qualified and registered?
Yes, all our polygraph examiners are trained through APA-accredited schools (American Polygraph Association) and are registered with SAPFED (Southern African Polygraph Federation). This ensures they follow internationally recognized standards, receive high-quality training, and uphold strict ethical and technical guidelines. When you work with us, you can trust that your polygraph test is conducted professionally, fairly, and with the highest level of integrity.
