Title: Help with poly scoring
Post by: neogeo on Jan 07, 2005, 07:13 PM
I understand that the poly is scored no deception, deception indicated, or inconclusive.  However, and I understand that in order to pass there needs to be greater responses to the controls than relevant questions.  However, are all three charts scored because aren't your reactions supposed to be less as the test goes on.  The first charts show the greatest reactions while the third shows the least.  If someone could tell me how this works it would be appreciated.

To pass a polygraph "test," reactions to "control" questions should indeed be greater than reactions to relevant questions. To the best of my knowledge, all chart collections are indeed scored.

If you would like to receive commentary on your polygraph charts (not to say that polygraph chartreading has any scientific basis -- it doesn't) you can send scanned images of any charts you have received to info@antipolygraph.org.
