Title: Re: FBI polygraph experience

Marty-

I made an error in judgement. I should have decided before the 'test' to either use CM's throughout the 'test' or not. I thought I would attempt CM's on a couple questions just for the hell of it to determine if the examiner would notice anything (about myself or the charts) during the application of CM's and say something to me about it. Nothing was said. Perhaps I should clarify my 'experimentation' with CM's. The first series of questions regarded counterintelligence. Three separate charts were taken, with the order of questions changed for each of the three charts. No CM's were used. The second series of questions regarded drug use and veracity of information on the FD-140. Three separate charts were taken, order of questions changed for each chart.  On the second series of questions, for the second chart, I attempted CM's on a couple control questions. That was the extent of my use of the CM's. I know that there was probably no discernible difference in physiological responses, and nothing was said about it. These 6 charts were all identified, according to TLBTLD, as the PLCQT format. I was then given another set of questions regarding drug use and veracity of information contained in the FD-140, this time with what appeared to be some relevant/irrelevant questions such as "are you sometimes called XXXXXX" and "is today "XXXXXXXX", interspersed with the relevant questions and standard control questions I recognized from the PLCQT format previous to this set of questions. The order of the questions was changed for each chart recording, and three charts were taken. At the conclusion of the 'test', I was given my coat, asked to take a seat in the corner of the room, and my examiner said I had 'hit' on the drug questions and the veracity of information contained in the FD-140. I explained my reasoning behind the 'hits' on the drug questions as being unable to disassociate myself with events that had taken place in the past, even though I was not guilty of any actual wrongdoing. The examiner seemed satisfied with my answer, and concluded our 'session', by asking me if I had any questions. I said I had none. He asked me what I thought of the 'test'. I responded that it was 'interesting'. He said 'Interesting?' and I said yes. This concluded our time together. We shook hands, and I left. Conclusions? Hell if I know.
