The "complete honesty" approach seems unlikely to result in the polygraph requirement being waived. However, the polygrapher might administer either a directed-lie CQT or a Relevent/Irrelevant "test" instead of a probable-lie CQT.

You mentioned in another post that your FBI polygrapher accused you of deception. It may be of some comfort to know that this is happening to some 50% of FBI special agent applicants. You  should definitely appeal. If you succeed in being scheduled for a "re-test," you might then wish to use the "complete honesty" approach and tell your polygrapher that you've researched polygraphy. It seems reasonable to suppose that polygraphers will expect that those who have failed a polygraph examination and been granted a re-test will have done some research.

does anyone know if that the "complete honesty approach", in regards to telling the examiner you know all about the poly, actually work???
Has someone actually gottena waiver from the FBI policy and gotten a full background investigation?
