Quote:He had me write a statement and sign it as did he so he could pass it along to my background investigator.
You are under no obligation to write out a signed statement to a polygrapher. His job is to get as much info out of you as possible, not to test your truthfulness. If you were being questioned by police as some sort of suspect (and in a polygraph you are a SUSPECT), would an attorney want you to sign a statement without first seeking his/her advice? No, he would tell you to just answer their questions truthfully, but don't volunteer information!
Were the questions really bothering you? Or just the fact he was calling you a liar? If the questions were not bothering you, and you told him that, repeatedly, that should be the end of it. Just tell him you've answered his questions and tell him to just do whatever he's gotta do Mr. Polygrapher dude!
It's like being in a auto dealership and the salesman is badgering you about buying some extras you don't need or want. They are hoping to wear you down and get you to "GIVE IN" so you can get outta there.

This has a way of following you around. Most LE agencies you apply for will ask if you have ever taken a poly, and where.
Whatever happens, just learn from your experience and WARN EVERYONE YOU KNOW! Get the word out. That is what this site is all about!

P.S. If you were a pathological liar and had no belief whatsoever in the validity of the test, rather than being a truthful applicant wanting to cooperate in every way, you'd probably have passed.
P.P.S. Forget about a retest. People rarely pass them, because polygraphers don't like having their powers questioned and are predisposed to fail you.
