Which statement is FALSE regarding the provisions of the Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988 (EPPA)?
The Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) of 1988 primarily restricts the use of polygraph tests by employers. It does not address psychological testing based on personality traits such as honesty, preferences, or habits. Instead, the EPPA focuses on prohibiting most private employers from using lie detector tests during employment processes, with certain exceptions for specific industries and situations.
Polygraphs (but no other lie detector tests) are permissible in certain circumstances. Under the EPPA, polygraph means an instrument that records continuously, visually, permanently, and simultaneously changes in cardiovascular, respiratory and electrodermal patterns as minimum instrumentation standards and is used to render a diagnostic opinion as to the *honesty or dishonesty* of as individual. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/36-eppa
