Which of these psychologists invented a prototype of the lie detector?
William Moulton Marston (May 9, 1893 – May 2, 1947), also known by the pen name Charles Moulton (/ˈmoʊltən/), was an American psychologist, inventor of an early prototype of the lie detector, self-help author, and comic book writer who created the character Wonder Woman.
Two women, his wife Elizabeth Holloway Marston, and their polyamorous life partner, Olive Byrne, greatly influenced Wonder Woman's creation.
He was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2006.

Charles Moulton was his pen name. Why not use his real name to make it clearer?
Val Tweedie
Willian Moulton Marston was his name

More information about the early prototype of the lie detector would of improved your explanation.

Wonder Woman's golden lasso also acts as a lie detector.

Dr Phil? Hahahahahahahahahaha. But the 10% who chose him won't find that funny.

Stevie G, Yes, either sticking more to the subject at hand or changing the question to asking something about Wonder Woman would have been preferable.

He had quite an interesting love life with his wife and two lovers living in the same house along with children from two of them.

klmilles, IMHO no man with a harem respects women…

Stevie G, would "have."

For all of his vaunted respect for women, his underlying thesis in his life and in Wonder Woman was a dominance/submission philosophy perfumed with erotica. Sounds like a sexual fantasy to me.

Stevie G, I agree. The question was about the prototype, not his other exploits.
