This is no longer a relevant issue with me but last fall I was required to take a polygraph test for a job interview with the police department. I failed miserably and didn't get the job. The results were weird, they showed that I wasn't exactly lying and wasn't exactly telling the truth, whatever that means, but that's what they said.
Before the test, I was locked in a little room with the examiner who asked me all sorts of horrible questions. I became extremely uncomfortable with what I was being asked. He was a strange male and I'm a middle-aged female. The questions were of sexual nature and so explicit I can't even repeat them here but they involved oral acts, gay encounters, incest, and things that involved animals?? I was horrified, embarrassed, and very angry.
After the actual test, he reviewed the results with me showing me how I had lied through the whole test. According to him, I was a drug dealer, thief, cheat, and habitual liar. None of this is true. I told the truth but I was upset during the whole test. One of the questions that comes to mind is when he asked me if I had ever cheated in college, I said no. He showed me that my answer was a lie. I didn't bother to explain to him that I never even went to college.
