> Will you break under pressure? Break? Break what? This makes no sense. It’s not like they have verifiable information to see if you break too easily. You’re making it sound like they were hiring a spy. Polygraph test are common in the public sector. They simply do this for bureaucracy reasons. Government agencies need to comply with a bunch of old standards so they can demonstrate they performed all possible verifications in case they go under investigation. Agencies don’t want to be in the position where a security clearance they granted is scrutinized only to find that they didn’t do a polygraph test while all the other agencies still perform polygraph tests. Everyone knows polygraph tests are bullshit. They do them because they have too, not because they find them useful.
