Hi all. I was wondering what a polygrapher's posture tends to be during the administration of the polygraph. Do they keep their eyes on you the whole time? Are they looking at the charts? Are they shifting their gaze from you, to the machine, to the computer?
It can be kind of obvious if you're moving your jaw up and down, even imperceptibly to apply CMs. THANKS.
Yorkie,
All examiners have a well defined schtick and act they follow. There posture or posturing as the case may be is based on how far into the procedure they are. Its a well rehearsed act with the point being to get you to be intimidated and to believe there machine works. Pull down the Lie Behind the Lie Detector and read chapters 3 & 4 first, then finish the reading with the other chapters. You can determine their posture with ease from your reading.
Regards ....
