dayok Member	posted 02-20-2006 06:41 AM so, what do you thinking about placing our charts, in this forum for a second opinion? sometimes, we fell lonely (snif, snif)and a good quality control will help us (specially for us that live so far from US). opinions?

rnelson Member	posted 02-20-2006 08:41 AM I thinks its a really good idea to get a second opinion from time to time. Colorado requires all PSCOT examiners to seek peer review at least twice a year. All tests that go to court, or play an important role in mitigating decisions are likely to be QC'd by the oposing counsel's expert. So, we are smart to have someone look over our own shoulder in advance. That is why I posted the charts. It is somewhat vulnerable though, to expose the deep inner workings of our best or worst work to our peers. In the end, I think it can only strengthen our profession, as we improve our ability to achieve professional consensus about the employment of empirically based practices. For an objective science, polygraph is frought with anecdotally based perceptions, training bias, and arrogant self-assured judgement at times. Some of us, who don't work for government or public agencies, and don't want to work for other individuals are at risk for isolation and the development of ideosyncratic practices and perceptions. This forum, and other QC practices can only improve our profession and reduce the occurence of unfortunate incidents. r IP: Logged
