Took 4th Polygraph

I just took my 4th polygraph for an Agency.  It didn't goo too well. The previous 3polygraphs they said I had trouble with drugs questions. I have never had anything to do with drugs. The polygrapher kept on asking my about drug use after the tests, must have done the test like 3 or 4 times. I kept on saying I have never had anything to do with Drugs. I am lost why would they keep on calling me back for more polygraphs if my answre has been the same for the past four times. What do they want me to say. Somebody please give some advice. I am really frustrated.

The fact that you were called back for a fourth polygraph session (rather than being summarily disqualified after an earlier polygraph "failure") suggests that the agency is seriously interested in hiring you. Unfortunately, they place undue reliance on the pseudoscience of polygraphy. It is not uncommon for honest, qualified persons to be wrongly disqualified from employment based on erroneous polygraph results.

I think you might want to re-consider your willingness to work for an employer that has the effrontery to pretend to measure your honesty and integrity based on such a fraudulent procedure as lie detector "testing." If the agency in question is the CIA or NSA, you can look forward to being subjected to the same demeaning treatment every five years (or more, depending on assignments).
