Title: Re: Failed pre-employment polygraph after having to talk about being a victim of sexual abuse

We started with the control question or I guess it is called the sim test. He had me write the number 3. Then told me to answer no to each number 1-5. Of course I lied when I said no to 3. After that he  went over a chart on drugs. The first set of questions were “are you now withholding any information about drug crimes” I don’t remember the exact words he used. The second question in this part was “are you now withholding any information about previous displine by an employer.”  The control questions were have I ever violated a traffic law” and have I ever talked about someone behind their back” I passed that section.

The second chart is the one I failed. He showed me a chart about sexual crimes and asks me some general questions that made me think of the stuff that happened when I was younger I felt like if I didn’t tell him up front it would seem as though I was lying about something. I told him as much as I felt comfortable disclosing. He asked who it was, why I didn’t go to the police, how long did it go on...I began to feel extremely uncomfortable and didn’t want to talk about it anymore.  We moved on to the second chart or actual questions for the test. He asked am I now withholding any info pertaining to sexual crimes” he then asked if I was now withholding an info pertaining to serious crime” the two control questions he had me purposely lie to were “have I ever said anything I regret” and have I ever lost my temper in my whole life” he also asked me known truth questions such as “are the lights on in the room” “do I sometimes drink water” “is the door closed” “am I sitting down” these were mixed in at random along with the questions he asked me to purposely lie to. He said I had a reaction to the sexual crimes questions.

I’m not a troll. I went into this test feeling fine and came out needing to do some research because the results bothered me. I wasn’t lying, I’ve never committed a sexual crime. Do you need anymore proof?
