What is the best scientifically validated polygraph testing technique?
The Utah Zone of Comparison Test (UZCT). A 2006 research study, published in Polygraph (the scientific journal of the APA), compared the accuracy rates of all polygraph test formats which have been evaluated by conventional scientific research. The UZCT had the highest accuracy of all techniques. A competent examiner should be using the UZCT exclusively. If the examiner is not, they are using a test that is second best – or worse.
