A while back I took a CI poly that lasted 9 hours, minus a one hour lunch break, for a net of 8 hours. Now I wasn't strapped up to the poly machine the whole time. In fact, the actually polygraph was probably only attached to me for a total of one hour at the most. The remainder of the time included going over my background and various interrogations and accusations. The questions were mostly about foreign contacts, foreign travel, leaking classified info, and such. However, this CI poly also seems to venture into my personal life about drug and foreign women (I am a straight male). I was harshly interrogated and accused of hiding something, but I held my ground and instead thought about just quitting and walking out of the whole damn thing.

This was for an IC contractor job. To this day, I don't know if I got the job because I haven't heard anything. Though my background check was completed with my references contacted and all that jazz. My POCs either don't respond or just give me some vague update.

Is this normal for a polygraph session to take the whole freakin day?!
Is it normal for a CI poly with the IC to ask about my personal and social life?

I left there and went straight to the liquor store.

I would have went to my dealer and bought some weed if it wasn't for this stupid security clearance.

Thoughts about this fiasco?

To address your specific questions, no, it is not typical for a polygraph examination to run all day. Nor is it normal for questions about one's personal and social life to be asked during a CI polygraph (though it is not unprecedented).
