It relies on the person taking it being dishonest. If you are the most honest person you are the most likely to fail a polygraph. They assume you lied in certain questions that they assume everyone lies about (such as "do you have any secrets") they then take the measurements from those questions and compare them to the real questions they wanted to ask, if the readings show more stress in the real questions than in the ones they assumed you lied about, then they consider you to be lying, if it shows less stress then they assume you are truthful and if it shows more or less the same then it is inconclusive. The consequence is that those who do not lie in the questions they assume people lie about, end up with a low stress level there and are more likely to recieve an inaccurate result.
