I'm thinking hard about the previous posts. Actually I'm thinking way too hard for this time of night, just so you know. But I got finished watching an awesome soccer game for Saprissa. So, here's another 2 cents from little ole me.
About the validity of the tests? Hmmm, good point. I've stated earlier, that I'm not a fan of pre screening polygraphs. However that being said, if it's part of the hiring process you have two options. Take the test, or look for an agency that doesn't utilize this test nor the VSA.
However, if you take the civil service test, Treasury Enforcement Test, ASVAB, or any other test. Who normally passes, or receives a better score? The one who prepares, and studies, or the one who doesn't? I didn't say your gonna pass if you look up information. I said your gonna have an easier time being prepared. I've also stated the difference for me with preparing for the poly, and not preparing for the poly. I passed both times, because I was able to explain my reactions. But the first one was a lot more stressful then the others.
I have NO idea where your going with the gauntlet post?!?!?!?!?! But it is a good point. Again, if your guilty of a crime, I personally think your a DUMB ASS for taking the poly in the first place. I don't really need a poly to get someone to confess of a crime. Niether does a polygrapher, however forget the science, anytype of interoggation is a art. The polygraph in that way is part of the canvass, the confession would be the final product. If your innocent, and being investigated for a crime, and you know/understand your rights, and were ask to take a poly, inwhich you foolishly agreed to. It's your own damned fault for willfully giving up your 5th ammendment rights. Shame on you, and your lawyer for agreeing.
If your trying to obtain employment, again read what I wrote earlier. If a polygrapher is just reading your charts, he's not a good investigator. They record for a reason. I bet he/she is checking for NVI's. That's what I would do, but then again, I'm NOT a polygrapher. I'm just concerned that people aren't being responsible enough when it comes to this.
Whether or not a person chooses to use CM's, it's thier own decision. I won't. I personally don't know if there is a class or not to detect CM's. I don't want to find out the hard way either. I'm interested in finding out how to detect them, but here is not the area to dispute. I enjoy the civil posts pertaining to a topic, not adhock attacks by either pro/anti
. The majority of posters are mostly leo's. So were mostly on the same team one way or another. Stay safe everyone...
