Title: what does this mean?
Post by: john (Guest) on Jul 09, 2001, 02:02 AM
You maintain that polygraphs are biased against the truthful. How can this be?

A. Applicants who explain all their past indiscretions to the polygrapher during the pre-"test" interview and actually give honest answers to the "control" questions are destined to fail the "test."

can someone elaborate on this?
