Question 1

Am I overreacting by even looking at this?

Accepted Answer

No. Nearly everyone who books with us spent weeks telling themselves the same thing. Wondering this hard is not something people do without a reason, and a test is simply the fastest honest way to make it stop. Worth knowing: most people who close this page to think about it never come back, and it is rarely because the question went away.

Question 2

What will show on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

Your statement will show a short reference to LPI, our parent company. It will not mention polygraph, lie detector or Bristol Polygraph Services, so nobody glancing at the account learns anything about the booking.

Question 3

What if my partner refuses to take the test?

Accepted Answer

You cannot compel anyone, and we would not test them if you could, because free consent is what makes a result valid. But a flat refusal, once a fair and professional test has been offered, tells you something in itself. Many clients find the conversation about taking a test resolves matters before any appointment is needed.

Question 4

Can anxiety or nervousness cause me to fail the test?

Accepted Answer

No. Scoring compares your responses between question types rather than measuring how calm you are, so an honest but nervous examinee reads as honest. Almost everyone tested is nervous.

Question 5

How much does a lie detector test cost in Bristol?

Accepted Answer

A single issue test with Bristol Polygraph Services is £399, booked and paid online with nothing added later. The price includes the pre-test interview, the examination and the full written report with recorded charts within 24 hours.

Question 6

How accurate are polygraph tests in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Run to American Polygraph Association standards, a single issue polygraph test achieves decision accuracy in the region of 90 to 98 percent. Examiner training, equipment, venue and question technique determine where in that range a test sits.
