I just recently took an ATF polygraph (2 in fact).  I was told that they do not use the terms "pass", "fail" or "inconclusive".  They could (or would) not, however, tell me what they do use.  The little info I could get out of them was that those terms are used for criminal polygraphs only.  For employment pre-screening it is a matter of significant responses only...  I am going to post this on a new thread as well.

As for the NCIS thing, when did you hear this?  I am currently in the application process and was tods Special Agent applicants MAY be polygraphed in the future but for now only Agents and others involved in Foreign Counterintelligence are polygraphed...

Anyone have any information on the pass/fail ( NDI, DI, Inconclusive) results from all the poly's that are now required as part of the ATF SA application process?

I haven't heard much of a backlash about the use of the poly for them, so I am curious how their results have been?

Also, the NCIS application process has been modified to now include a polygraph.  Yet another agency jumping on the polygraph bandwagon!!
