Donna has all the gadgets: PLE, activity monitor.

This pneumo data looks like it took an awful lot of effort.

quote:
There is 2 LEAT charts and then a CVOS Q3 is a math question, Q5 is dy answer all questions truthfully, and Q6 is dy attempt to manipulate or defeat this exam.

Thanks Donna.

Nelson, this is good stuff....

Donna, does that CVOS usually go at the end?
Is this is female, because the chest tracing are huge?

and without scoring, a couple observations:

(1) There isn't much reaction on the EDA. Maybe its because I'm new, but I love EDA reactions because they are so easy to score.

(2) The respirations are very quick, but I don't see any pattern like DW etc....

Funny, I was thinking the chart reminds me of a child's---rapid stuff, but not necessarily over-aroused.

The big chest thing-----Buster (lol)----it's a morning thing.

The obvious thing to me is the upper and lower pneumo baselines are consistently desynchronized. To me that usually indicates behavior or excessive attention to breathing duringh the test.

There is a dramatic shift in lower pneumo baseline at the first CQ (C3) in chart 1. Then, there are dropping baseline in both pneumos at R4, especially the upper. The piezzo activity sensor seems somewhat blunt against this activity, as there is only a little bit of activity indicated at R4, thought there is a large spike about 4 seconds after the answer and consistent with the end of the respiratory anomalies. The piezzo filtering may be masking the activity, and it seem to me that the subject may be holding tension that he released at R4.

The EDA is a little unresponsive, but not completely dampened. Does this subject take medications?

The cardio is difficult to work with. Cuff pressures are ~60 at onset and over 70 at end.

BTW – its f’n cold in Utah and that may be why the GSR is a bit unresponsive.
Okay, this guy is former military- left after 14 years so he didn’t have to go to Iraq. After 14 years he was a level 2 (Cant recall the exact level code/I don’t know what that means as I am not military but the man I work with called it a level two which is real low for someone that has been in the military for 14 years). He admitted to one Art 15 for inappropriate comments to a female.

On the CVOS I ask a math question (#3) what is 23+18-5. He answered very quickly and check out the continued cardio increase.

Buster, I don’t think this guy went to Doug for help. I think it was just GM’s site. Look at SR2 on both charts..I know we should expect some reaction to this question but I seriously felt this guy thought it was a CQ

BTW, I think my CQ’s would have been C3 – during your employment years hy lied to a supervisor. C6 In the past 10 years, hy done anything unethical or Is there anyone that knows you that would say you are untrustworthy, C9 In the past 10 years hy had any thoughts about stealing from anyone. I don’t think they are that hot of CQs

This is a pre-employment exam. Initially he told me he had not researched polys. After the first two charts /especially the last CQ/ the cardio was extremely high but is cut off a bit so it could fit in this format. After the two charts, I confronted him on CM’s. He told me he read an article in 1996 but wasn’t trying anything. I then gave him the spill about honest and dishonest people going to the AP site……then asked him if he was the honest guy or if he went there because he was going to cover up a lie. He said he was the honest type and wasn’t there for long, then realized what he said and backed up and stuck to the 1996 comment. You know AP states to never admit.

Donna,

That is excellent and very instructive. I knew the pneumos were telling us something, but you've got a lot of information from what could be easily passed as a simple mess.
