Title: Inappropriate behaviour during poly
Post by neko6 on May 2nd, 2008 at 12:00am
I have a hypothetical question for you all:
If during one's poly session, the polygrapher keeps itching himself or adjusting himself (and by "himself" I mean his private parts) every time he stands up to talk about the questions or adjust the arm cuff. He doesn't try to hide it and does it in full view, though it's not quite the level of "sexual harassment". You (the examinee) finds this pretty disgusting and it makes you uncomfortable. The guy is a well-respected in-house polygrapher with a lot of experience. There is no video or two-way mirror as far as you know, so it's your word against his. Question is - do you say something to your applicant coordinator?

If you pass the poly -  would you be ostracized as a troublemaker before you even begin working in your dream job? (you don't have to see the polygrapher again)

If you fail the poly - would you be labeled a malcontent and get blacklisted by other agencies?

If you say nothing - he continues his behaviour, making other female examinees uncomfortable? (Bad considering studies have shown most women have experienced sexual assault of one form or another during their lifetime.)

Does it even matter? Or is this a surreptitious act to test your ethics and whether or not you will alert authority under difficult circumstances? Please some insight from the men in this forum, especially the polygraphers themselves. Advice?
