Hello, I'm new to this board.I tried at first searching the form for these questions.. but no luck anyways..
With regard to the nsa polygraph fullscope
what questions do they ask you in regards to drug use
If you don't answer one question to there satisfaction.. does this fail you for getting a top secret clearance. I read that the polygraph cannot be used for sole determination on your ability to get a TS clearance..

Any input would be great

It is up to a board.

The charts ALONE, can not.

What you say CAN be used.

This is why NSA polygraphic interrogators focus on "getting you to talk".   

Answer the relevant questions honestly.  If they try to tell you the machine is showing you to be "deceptive" or that something must be "bothering you".  Ignore them.  It is just their bullshit attempt to get something "juicey" they send to the board with the charts.

Sorry if my writing will be bad English but I'm just covering my bases..
Took my polygraph last week. Answered all questions honestly.. Examiner came back and said that two questions showed a spike/abnormal reading.. and that it was 50/50.. I 100% answered correctly.  I informed examiner numerous times the same "no answer" everything I've told you is correct. I only had to take the 2 sections of the test twice. Asked examiner how I did.. Was told by the examiner that it wasn't up to him  and they it was to be reviewed by by upper authority. Wasn't asked at all about the possibility of coming for a retest..
How do you think I did? pass or fail?
