silentfury,

At least you knew what you may have been getting yourself into--reading this forum before submitting to an FBI poly. That's more than I can say for myself--I foolishly submitted to one with the strong belief that it was  a reliable test and without even so much as mentioning it to several people I know and trust in LE or researching it at all. I could never have imagined the federal government would be using such an inept so-called testing procedure to select its employees. Unreal. Just curious--why on earth did you submit to an FBI poly after reading this forum?

If I had even a clue as to the 20% failure rate that the FBI admits to, I would never have taken one. That high rate is an obvious red flag--there couldn't possibly be that many drug dealers, users, spies in the number of FBI applicants.  

Anyway, good luck to you in your future professional pursuits.

P.S. You'd have a much better chance passing a magic 8 ball test than a second FBI poly--at least the 8 ball isn't rigged.
