Drew,
You are out of touch with the polygraph community at this time. Maybe at some point in time you had your marbles in one basket concerning polygraph, not now. That was a relevant question, should you use your countermeasures on that question you would not be considered truthful!!!. Suggest you go back to Polygraph School and find out what a control is and how it is worded.
Drew is not out of touch. Rather, you are a shameless liar too clever by half. The
DoDPI Law Enforcement Pre-Employment Test examiner's guide includes among the comparison ("control") questions listed in Appendix D:
"Prior to -----, did you ever cheat your employer out of anything?"
Quote:Regarding your statement of the polygraph examiner is not your friend, you are right. We are not your friend we are there to get you through a polygraph examination and qualified for the department you are applying for.
If our intent was to fail all examinees, we would not have any police officers working for the department. Our task is to get you to tell the truth and get you on the job.
But "passing" a polygraph "test" is not dependent on whether or not one has told the truth. Rather, it depends on reacting more strongly to the "control" questions than to the relevant questions.
Quote:Misinformation is deadly. Get the facts before you respond.
This is truly ironic coming from you, who came to this message board for the express purpose of spreading misinformation, first with your
posts as
thevet2/
checking and now under the new handle of "darkcobra2005." Evidently, AntiPolygraph.org's public documentation of the fraud that is polygraphy is deeply troubling to you. And indeed, it should be. As you go through the monkey drill of administering your "tests" (outlined step-by-step in the
DoDPI LEPET examiner's guide), you're left in doubt as to whether the examinee has also read the script and sees through the deceptions on which your "test" depends.
Look at you! You are supposed to be a member of a profession that is "Dedicated to Truth" (American Polygraph Association motto). Yet here you are playing games by attempting to anonymously spread misinformation, and in the process falsely accusing Dr. Richardson of being "out of touch." Have you no shame?
When you first trained to become a polygraph examiner, did you ever think that you would be reduced to the kind of behavior that you have exhibited here? I don't think so.
If polygraphy were the reliable technique you wish it to be, you wouldn't be reduced to playing these deceptive games here. You may wish to follow the path recently chosen by
FBI Special Agent Leroy Chan, a former polygraph examiner who had the intellectual honesty and moral courage to say enough is enough.
