polygraph examiner

Polygraph examiners prepare individuals for polygraph testing, conduct the polygraph exam and interpret the results. They pay close attention to detail and use a range of instruments to monitor respiratory, sweat and cardiovascular responses to questions addressed during the process. Polygraph examiners write reports on the basis of the results and can provide courtroom testimony.

The most in-demand skills for this role include forensic intelligence, psychophysiology, analyse legal evidence, comply with legal regulations, use technology for forensics, observe human behaviour. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives polygraph examiner a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
