Thanks for taking time to write your experience. Sad to know there are so many good people being denied an opportunity.

- Mar 27, 2014, 12:46 PMI almost forgot- since you have an engineering degree and can't pass a polygraph, you might be able to enlist in the military as a mess kit repair specialist (fork and spoon battalion); no polygraph required!contact your local military recruiter.

- Mar 27, 2014, 11:44 AMLol in life there are people who get it and people who don't get it, and the people that don't get it, don't get or understand that they don't get it. Quickfux clearly is just someone who "doesn't get it" and he/she/it does not get that he/she/it doesn't get it. So everybody who happens to read this thread or anythread that quickfux or any of his aliases post in, take his/her/it's spewed ignorance as exactly what it is, spewed ignorance. Quickfux you don't get it, you don't get that you don't get it, you are a coward who has keyboard courage and hides behind the click of a mouse, you obviously have low self esteem and nothing better to do than troll the internet, you sound like a 11 year old wimp who struggles to make insults to make yourself feel better cause you know you have nothing else to use in a debate, you probably are the epitome of ignorance who wallows in mediocrity working an fulfilling job if you have one that is.

- Mar 27, 2014, 08:18 AMQuoteI'm sure the public is in great hands with the likes of you "defending" it.It sure is. And don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out of your failed polygraph. Better get that security guard application in fast, as your other option is the job walking behind the circus elephant with the big shovel.

- Mar 26, 2014, 08:19 PMLol shows how smart you are quickfix believing that the polygraph detects lies and determines honesty and integrity. Not to demean any job, but I have a degree from a top engineering school that you could probably never get in to or complete once granted admission, so I have plenty of options. However, I wanted to pursue a job involving public service so I could protect wimps like you who hide behind a computer screen and a keyboard. By the blight of your ignorance you sound like an utter coward who hides when sh!t hits the fan. The polygraph isn't science and far from it, and everyone knows that except for jaded people like you who bow down to the might polygraph like a cult following. It's the country's and local citizenry loss not mines to be honest. I'm sure the public is in great hands with the likes of you "defending" it.

The fact that you have failed "several" polygraphs with "several" LE agencies speaks volumes. Perhaps you should pursue employment that does not require honesty or integrity as part of the application process. May I suggest shopping mall security guard?
OK Quickfux, it's time for you to get your Snoopy lunch box, lock up your gray metal gov't issued desk with the scratched up rubberized top, shut the door on your office which is saturated with another day's worth of stench produced by the fear of all the victims of your insidious Orwellian instrument of torture, and go drink yourself into oblivion so you can ease the pain of your guilty conscience.

- Mar 26, 2014, 04:17 PMQuickfix, I won't stoop down to your level of making insults over the internet. However, if you understood linguistics and the use of words in it's context and can actually read, you will notice that I never said "polygraph machine" but I said "polygraph". "Polygraph" being semantics for the entire polygraph process including the questioning that I mentioned, which you failed to quote, due to your urge to try to demean someone in order to make yourself feel better. Obviously, by my use of the word "question" as a verb and "perception", I am referring to a bias between 2 humans and not that the machine has feelings and can make judgments.
However from your quotes, it sounds like you have a tremendous amount of self esteem (sarcasm), and maybe those same insults that you mentioned (bad breathe bad close, bad mustache) are things that you all possess and are quite familiar with given your instant and petulant use of them.

No argument on that point. Examiners are not supposed to be biased, but rather a neutral, disinterested party. Not always the case, particularly in criminal exams.

Good point. Polygraph instruments don't harbor such biases. But those who operate them may. A study by the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute (now the National Center for Credibility Assessment) suggests that innocent blacks are more likely to wrongly fail the polygraph than innocent whites. Examiner bias seems the most likely cause.

- Mar 26, 2014, 03:15 PMQuoteThe polygraph machine has to be a bunch of utter nonsense. I can't buy it at all, given the experiences I've had with it, despite telling the truth. I'm also beginning to think that the polygraph may be heavily biased against those coming from a certain background, upbringing, race, or something like that.You mean the truth as YOU see it. Of course blame it on the machine. Do you honestly think the machine knows your race, background, or if you have an accent? Maybe the machine didn't like your moustache. Or the clothes you were wearing. Oh wait, I know- the machine detected your bad breath, that's why you failed!

- Mar 26, 2014, 02:44 PMI am so sorry that that happened to you!
I heard they use the polygraph so they can cut costs with regard to the background investigation. But the background investigation is already so in-depth!!!
Why hasn't someone started a petition that everyone in law enforcement/the IC can sign? Do they really believe it works or are they just scared to rock their comfortable government-job boat?
