1) Since I visited this site and read TLBTLD and know how to employ countermeasures, and I admit to it before the poly, does that mean I automatically flunk?
Neither the CIA, nor any other federal agency, has publicly articulated how it will deal with applicants or employees who are honest enough to admit to knowing about polygraph procedure and countermeasures. But the CIA's treatment of applicant Maureen Lenihan, mentioned at p. 124 of the 3rd edition of
The Lie Behind the Lie Detector is instructive.
Quote:2) If you disclose prior mj use (seven times several years ago) during the background forms, how much do they probe you and interrogate you about it?
Although I have no firsthand knowledge, I expect that you'll be questioned at length regarding all salient details of your past drug use.
Quote:3) What types of questions do they ask about prior sexual activity? I've read the memoirs of some applicants and they said they were really embarrassed about some of the questions they were asked and some have even been turned in and accused of being pedophiles!!! That's scary. I'm certainly not, but this line of questioning sounds really intimidating to someone not expecting it.
Examples of the kinds of questions regarding sexual activity that CIA polygraphers may ask are provided in Chapter 3 of
The Lie Behind the Lie Detector (beginning at p. 91 of the 3rd edition). See also the public statement of
No Such Author. Whether or not you are ultimately hired by the CIA, your answers to such questions will become the property of the U.S. Government. I think it would be prudent to consider how intimate a relationship you are willing to have with our government before you proceed further.
