In this listener Q&A episode of Inside the Polygraph, David Goldberg answers questions sent in from around the United States and around the world, covering some of the most common concerns people have before taking a polygraph test.

From pre-employment issues and prior juvenile history to heart murmurs, inconclusive results, private testing, juvenile testing age requirements, and whether a spouse can sit in during an exam, David breaks down what really matters — and what doesn’t — when it comes to professional polygraph testing.

Listeners will hear David address:

• Whether past juvenile conduct affects a pre-employment polygraph

• Why medical issues like heart murmurs do not automatically impact results

• Why only the examiner and examinee should be in the room during testing

• Who writes the questions for a polygraph exam

• The difference between private, pre-employment, and law-enforcement testing

• Why “inconclusive” results often point to examiner error or improper test formulation

• Whether a prior failed polygraph can affect a future application

David also emphasizes one of the most important lessons for anyone considering a polygraph: do your due diligence before choosing an examiner. Experience, training, professionalism, and issue-specific expertise matter — especially when the outcome could affect your career, reputation, or future.

This episode is a practical guide for anyone preparing for a polygraph, trying to understand a past result, or simply wanting the truth behind common myths and misunderstandings.
