Title: ATF poly results?  & NCIS poly now req'd
Post by: poly_opponent on Nov 07, 2001, 02:00 AM
Anyone have any information on the pass/fail ( NDI, DI, Inconclusive) results from all the poly's that are now required as part of the ATF SA application process?

I haven't heard much of a backlash about the use of the poly for them, so I am curious how their results have been?

Also, the NCIS application process has been modified to now include a polygraph.  Yet another agency jumping on the polygraph bandwagon!!

I just recently took an ATF polygraph (2 in fact).  I was told that they do not use the terms "pass", "fail" or "inconclusive".  They could (or would) not, however, tell me what they do use.  The little info I could get out of them was that those terms are used for criminal polygraphs only.  For employment pre-screening it is a matter of significant responses only...  I am going to post this on a new thread as well.

As for the NCIS thing, when did you hear this?  I am currently in the application process and was tods Special Agent applicants MAY be polygraphed in the future but for now only Agents and others involved in Foreign Counterintelligence are polygraphed...
