I am the original poster, and I wanted to update this thread a few years later. First I want to clarify exactly what happened. I took a CIA polygraph. I made the mistake of not clearly understanding "The Lie Behind The Lie Detector" (TLBTLD). I mistaked the irrelevant questions for control questions. This is a Grade "A" crappity smack Up on my part. I deserve to die because of this.
During my CIA polygraph, at the Dulles Discovery site on Air & Space Museum Pkwy in Chantilly VA, I tried to hold my breath slightly during the irrelevant questions. I thought these were "Control" questions, which is where I crappity smacked myself. By using countermeasures during the irrelevant questions, I set off an alarm to the polygraphers that I was using countermeasures. The CIA uses the Irrelevant/Relevant questions pattern, so what I should have done was just have used countermeasures to cause reactions during different sets of Relevant questions so that I would pass. This is clearly explained in TLBTLD, page 151.
The Irrelevant questions, as I recall, were similar to: Are we in Virginia? Are the lights on? Is your name XXX?
The relevant questions, as I recall, were something like: Did you intentionally lie during any part of your recruitment or application? Are you hiding any criminal activity? Were you honest about your drug use? Have you crappity smacked an animal or are you a f*g**t? LOL, just kidding about that last one. I wasn't asked that, but who knows if others were, as it all depends on the applicant's character...
At the end the polygrapher said "I know you were holding your breath, just like they tell you to do on the internet". Then he asked "What do you know about the polygraph, where did you hear about it?". I mentioned this site, and he responded with a negative comment about "the antipolygraph" site. I don't remember the details though, I knew I was crappity smacked at this point. Anyway, I did not confess to using countermeasures or anything, and I denied everything. This was my last chance to save grace. I was still rejected, but at least my file says that "no confessions were obtained" and simply that "the CIA felt strongly not to hire applicant". This proves that they were aiming for a confession, which is the whole goal of polygraphy. I have sense bounced back and now have a stable and successful career. This CIA incident is behind me. Everyone, make sure you understand TLBTLD before you take a polygraph. Don't do like me and pull and ultimate fail. Know the difference between a Control and an Irrelevant question, and know when to employ countermeasures.
Busted is out.
