?I'm writing in regard to your website. I just took a FLE poly on Friday and need some guidance on the results. When we were finished, like most of the posts on here, the examiner said I had reactions to some of the questions and said that she had problems reading the results because I was a hard person to read. She said HQ would want the scores a little higher? She sent me out for a break and had me come back in for a 4th round of questions. After that round, she said she would send my results to HQ and someone there would 1) pass me and let me continue on in the process, 2) have me come in for another poly, or 3) send me a letter stating I was no longer best qualified. She said my poly would be numerically ranked and I would have to compete with other candidates. I really could not tell where I stood after the poly...so basically I'm in limbo at this point.
After the exam, she never interrogated me on any questions nor indicated what questions I reacted to. I've read that if a polygrapher sees deception results, they will interrogate you after the exam, but I was never interrogated. She also never mentioned that I was inconclusive or that I failed due to deception.
Can you tell me what she meant by "hard to read"? She never said I failed, but that I was "one of those persons that were very hard to read" and "I made her earn her pay today"....then someone at HQ would determine the next step? Thanks.

It appears that your polygrapher scored your charts as "inconclusive." This happens when reactions to relevant and "control" questions are of similar magnitude.
Well it seems are you correct. Got the call today that my poly was "inconclusive" and that I have to go in next week for another one? Can you give me any guidance? Thanks.
I see that you have posted on this site and polygraph place where I have answered 1 or 2 of your posts. (My name on that site is Dan Williams because I have been banned under my real name, which is listed here)
Here is the deal, you are asked 3 types of questions on a poly, irrelevant, relevant and control. relevant for the FBI are the drug use and sale, information left off of your fd-140 app, and espionage related policies.
irrelevants are the ones that are obvious factual questions, like when is your birthday or you are now in such and such a city
control questions are vague questions that you are expected by the polygrapher to lie about--have you ever "lied to a loved one", have you ever "stolen from an employer", etc, etc
you are Inconclusive because you reacted strongly to both a relevant and control question pair or several pairs. what you must do to pass is identify the control questions when asked and increase your reaction to them, and at the proper moment.
Read the ebook from this site-the lie behind the lie detector and come back here and ask more questions if you have them--people will be glad to answer them.
thanks much...will do
