Paranoidpolygraphie,

Am I correct in inferring that your polygraph was with either CIA or NSA? Both agencies use a polygraph technique called the relevant/irrelevant "test" in which it is not uncommon for applicants to be subjected to multiple séances.

It's possible in such a situation, that you'll be subjected to a more focused post-test interrogation. But I cannot say with any degree of certainty that such will be the case.

In any event, the fact that you were contacted regarding a "retest" within 24 hours is a good omen.

When I took the CIA polygraph some years ago, I was also given the "rare" chance to take a second polygraph.  My 3-day processing schedule at the time left a big gap on the second day for some 3-4 hour event.... After my first day where I took polygraph part 1, they told me I was to retake the polygraph the next day, which conveniently filled that 3-4 hour gap, almost as if this had been pre-planned long before I even arrived in Chantilly VA for CIA processing.  I later found out that the CIA lied and gave just about all applicants a second polygraph.  Some applicants even were offered third polygraphs, but I hear those who declined the third polygraph were hired, and those that accepted the third polygraph got rejected.  Strange.   

I never got hired by the way.  I failed both polygraph apparently, even without making any confessions.  I now openly tell people how the polygraph works and how to beat it in hopes to expose this silly tool so it can be eliminated from existence.  The key to passing is to deny everything and make no disqualifying admissions.  Forget about reacting on questions, that can happen to anyone.  Just don't admit to anything, not even cheating your company expense reports, driving drunk and not being caught, banging a hooker, nor even getting a happy ending massage.  If there is no record of it and you don't have friends who know about it and will squeal, then it never happened.  Don't open the door to polygraphers. 

I am a former hooker and stripper who has shown and shared her vagina all around the U.S., but not many people knew because I was very discreet.  I got hired by the government and now have TS clearance with a poly that I passed.

So it's not OK to bang a hooker, but it's OK to have been one?   LOL

If you're being invited back for a third polygraph, that's a good sign that the agency is seriously interested in hiring you, and you have a real chance of passing.

If I were in your shoes, I would at minimum employ behavioral countermeasures in addition to mental countermeasures if a "control" question "test" is employed. Ultimately, whether to employ countermeasures or not is a personal choice that only you can make.

Regarding behavioral countermeasures, see Chapter 4 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector:
