Quote:The Examiner follows up after a review of the chart to consistentcy of reaction
But these "reations" do not necessarily equate to "deception".
If your conscious mind has been sending the message to the SUB-conscious (which controls the FFF response) to "be on guard" for a certain question, you will CONSISTENTLY react, whether you are lying or not. That is how the mind works.

G.I.G.O.
No matter what statistical operations you perform on a given set of poorly collected, and misinterpreted data, the conclusions will be faulty.
"There are lies, damn lies, and statistics." Mark Twain?
Quote:...based on the internal processing of the subject's (sometimes slow like yours) brain.
It tests the FFF response which indicates "fear", "irritation", "frustration", "defensiveness"...etc., but not necessarily "decepton" lying. Can a person possibly CONSISTENTLY consider a question a "threat" short of lying?
For example, you've been told for the first time during the test that you are "reacting" to a certain question. You know you are telling the truth, but this guy is insinuating that you're being deceptive. You really want the job. And this question, which you are answering truthfully, is standing in the way.
So, chart number two begins. The questions start, the examiner gets to the "loaded" question: "Have you ever maintain an unauthorized relationship with...." Halfway through the question your subconscious recongizes it as "THAT QUESTION" and starts the FFF ("Put up yer dukes!" response.
You end up going through 5 charts over two days. After each chart, the examiner gets more and more insulting . The more they claim you are showing deception and not coorperating, the more your SUB-conscious gets programed to react to that question (typical with a high strung test subject like me).
What a joke! Wolf even admitted that the machine doesn't detect lying and deception.
