Best Answer

Yes. Polygraphs are designed to detect heightened levels of anxiety, they cannot detect whether someone is telling the truth or lying. Most people when they lie become anxious/nervous, however if someone suffers from anxiety or is particularly nervous the polygraph will also detect this.

If the examiner refers to the polygraph as a "lie detector" then the chances are they have little understanding as to the function of the machine and would likely mistake someone with anxiety as a chronic liar.
