Out of curiousity:

Did you know how the "test" worked beforehand?  If so, did you attempt to augment the control questions?   

It certainly does not sound like you "passed."  It sounds like it was inconclusive.  At least your mind reader was polite 

I have absolutely ZERO experience with this nonsense.  Everything to this point is book knowledge.


But, I did not think they did "re-tests" on people who "failed" unless it was the specific question type (which was  not mentioned thus far).  Why bother with a retest if you were DI.  Retesting makes more sense to me if you were inconclusive.

With a system as illogical as this though, your guess might be as good as mine.

kojay,

I'm not a guru, but the apparent absence of any post-test interrogation is a very good sign, because it is standard operating procedure to interrogate when the charts are scored as "deception indicated."

Additionally, it's not uncommon for polygraphers to leave examinees uncertain as to whether or not they've passed, and I would not be surprised if you did indeed pass. The likely worst case scenario is that your polygrapher may have scored the charts as "inconclusive."

I too had a similar experience.  When I was 16 I was given a small piece of a drug.  I wasn't told what it was.  I swallowed it, but hours passed and I had no effect of it at all.  The next day I told a friend of my experience and she said it sounded like I could have taken acid.  I was angry, and other than this one experience, pot was the only other illegal drug I ever took.  I am the wife and daughter of a police officer, and have done any illegal drugs in over six years.  I just recently took a polygraph for employment by the police dept, and I too failed my polygraph.  I told the gospel of what happened, but because it is very difficult to speak of old memories because of shame and the fact you are spilling your guts to a complete stranger, I was anxious.  I took the text three times, first I spiked, the second time I was very depressed, because of the first experience, that time I wasn't measuring on the devise.  The third time, I tried to breathe without thinking of breathing even though that's all the guy kept on about.  I spiked a third time.  Needless to say, they declined me as an applicant.  Hands down worse experince of my life.  I felt like it was judgment day throughout the whole process, only that I had to try and convince the "All Mighty" that the events I portrayed were true.  Kojay, I hope your luck is better than mine.
