Hmr, I'm very sorry. I misjudged you.

Your description is most credible.

It appears that you were given a "directed lie" Control Question Test (CQT), which, in my opinion, is even more absurd -- and structurally weaker -- than its "probable lie" counterpart CQT. Examiners use the directed-lie format because it is easier to administer and takes less time than does the probable-lie "test."

Your outcome is most unfortunate, as is quite often the case with truthful subjects.

I wish I could offer you some measure of hope or remedy, but both are in short supply when it comes to pre-employment polygraph "testing."
