Crystal,

I just took my medical last week for CBP officer, all i had was a medical with hearing and vision test, no PFT-1
Some locations do the medical and PFT 1 on the same day, not here in Detroit.  Just received an email to schedule my PFT 1 from CHS yesterday.

Quote from: Wandersmann on Feb 26, 2017, 03:58 PMThe Government slugs in personnel are more interested in making sure their paperwork looks good than in really addressing quality in our workforce.

It is in that precisely kind of environment that "quickfixes" and their colleagues fluorish.  ;D

A physical exam is usually part of the application process. 

I don't know what, if any, psychometric test instruments are used by CBP. 8-)

Quote from: Wandersmann on Feb 26, 2017, 03:58 PMhe would have never applied for the job if he was given a polygraph exam.  He lectured these stooges on why we need to polygraph everybody. 

Yes, I'm familiar with the Chris Boyce/Dalton Lee scandal.  Chris, the "idealist", had an FBI father and his accomplice Dalton Lee was  a useless, but well-connected, cokehead.  To help save his rear end, the opportunistic Boyce told the Congressional investigators whatever he thought they would want to hear.
This is remarkably similar to the conduct of the notorious sexual predator/mass murderer, Ted Bundy.  In 1989, hoping to save himself from execution, Bundy began to make statements attributing his behavior to the  availability of pornography. Fortunately, his cynical, opportunistic behavior failed to save his life.

Quote from: xenonman on Feb 25, 2017, 05:44 PMI have often believed that a "loyalty oath" could serve the same purpose as the polygraph and/or BI.

If an employee then engages in espionage (for whatever reason), s/he could be prosecuted for perjury as well as for secrecy/national security violations.

I recently watched on YouTube the 1985 testimony of traitor Christopher Boyce pertaining to his service to the Soviet Union.  His first portion of testimony dealt with the fact that he never should have been hired.  He highlighted his background investigation that was a superficial joke.  He was a counter-culture druggie and the background investigation only included interviews of his retired FBI Agent father's friends.  Therein lies the problem.  It all comes down to the BI.  I think there is more nepotism, favoritism, PC, and "old boy", now sometimes "old girl" networking, than ever before.  People are getting selected for positions for all of the wrong reasons and no one in authority has the guts to address this issue head on.  The Government slugs in personnel are more interested in making sure their paperwork looks good than in really addressing quality in our workforce. 

The next part of Boyce's testimony was enraging.  This traitor POS starting lecturing Senators Cohen (former Clinton Secretary of Defense), Gore (former VP), Nunn (Rep-GA) and other committee members on how he would have never applied for the job if he was given a polygraph exam.  He lectured these stooges on why we need to polygraph everybody.  It appears that these lackluster politicians chose to follow the advice of a traitor rather than really digging into a careful analysis of the problem by listening to what he was saying.  I wonder how much this singular testimony by a despicable traitor played into our current polygraph policy? :o

Quote from: honestabe on Jul 08, 2011, 12:51 PMI find it funny that you can just submit a urine test and prove that you are drug free. Seems like proven science might be a little more effective here.

Quote from: samson on Mar 26, 2015, 01:22 PMTo pass a polygraph just be honest and relax

I told a polygraph examiner that I was trying to relax and he stated in his report that I admitted to using countermeasures.  What a joke this polygraph is.  A joke that costs innocent people their careers. 

Relaxation as a countermeasure?  LOL.  ;D

BTW, I'm a victim of exactly the same bad joke as you, Wandersmann!

QuoteIf I failed and reapplied 3 years later what are the odds of me getting hired?  If I pass the poly would my last failed exam hurt my chances?

For CBP, I really don't know.  For any federal intelligence agency, I'd say to forget about re-applying until you turn 120.  lol  ;D

Quote from: quickfix on Dec 07, 2011, 02:45 PMHow articulate you are.  Judging by your command of the English language, you have no business being in a profession that requires intelligence.  Go back to school and get an education.

You seem to have done all right for yourself, Quickfix, and yet you don't appear to be capable of accomplishing very much except to threaten and disparage those who have the temerity to question the accuracy of your brilliant analyses. :P

You got educated and stayed good for the system, cool guy. But you lack the common sense to figure out that every single one of you has taken some type of drug in your life, because the biggest drug pusher on the planet is the Pharmaceutical Cartel... and they start you out real young injecting that needle full of vaccines.

It's very simple
The group that PAYS for the polygraph
gets the results that they want
especially if the result that the payer wants
is a FAILED examination
It's that simple
These exams are purely subjective !!!
The " science " is in the lie pushed by the exam giver !!!
