I came to this site some time back to report that I had taken three (3) polygraph tests, by two different operators, and all reported that I failed the test (deceptive). These were controlled question tests (CQTs). Recently, a new polygraher was recommended highly, and I went for yet one more test. I told him the background, but he didn't have the earlier results. He suggested trying a directed-lie test. Result: I passed with a very high truthful score.

I am a pretty simple guy, and I believe in myself and the idea that right wins in the end. If you were wondering, I made no effort to fool the machine in any of the tests, and the questions were always about the same.

I can't offer much insight into why things went this way, except for one nagging thought. On the CQTs, I thought I was actually tellling the truth on the control question, and at least as I remember, the operators didn't tell me I was supposed to be lying. I am led to believe that being too honest works against you in a polygraph test.

I too past the poly given by OPD two weeks after the USSS poly. Basically same questions. However, I took a safe job in Atlanta instead of pursuing the local city police department (OPD). I was tempted to go back and challenge the USSS result, but felt I left with my dignity for telling the truth and it was their loss.
