Taking a Polygraph: The Best Guidance for a Positive Outcome When Telling the Truth is the definitive preparation guide for truthful individuals facing polygraph examinations, addressing the critical problem that over 50% of honest test-takers fail their first attempt due to lack of understanding about the process.

Written by polygraph expert Thomas P. Mauriello, who has conducted over 1,200 examinations and supervised 30,000+ tests, the book demystifies the three-step polygraph interview process, explaining the physiology, psychology, and instrumentation involved in testing. The book provides comprehensive guidance on proper preparation, identifies the 15 most common reasons for unsuccessful examinations among truthful subjects, and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety and expectations during the testing process. Unlike existing resources that focus on detection methods or countermeasures, this book specifically serves honest individuals seeking security clearances, employment, or involved in investigations who need to understand what examiners expect for a successful outcome.

Taking a Polygraph provides readers with the preparation guidance that the polygraph community has traditionally withheld, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming repeat examinations. This book will be of keen interest to professionals and students wishing to deepen their understanding of performing and interpreting polygraph tests.
