Post interragation I am a little confused. I had my polygraph yesterday. After the test the examiner came into room and asked me to pick one question that gave me trouble. I mentioned one thing and he said how about the drug use question. I said I have not used anymore than what I told him in the pretest and I may have a little guilt from the past use years ago, He then mentioned that I should contact my employer and tell them they will be doing a background check. he could not tell me if I passed or not. I cant see why they would do a background if I did not pass. Can anyone clear this up, MD
That wasn't much of a post-test interrogation. It seems likely that you either passed or that the result was at worst "inconclusive."
Thanks George. He did say the drug question I showed the greatest response. Does this mean I did not pass that part. Also, in passing the Polygraph, is it strickly taken from the results or is it a combination of the interview and the examiners overall opinion if I am telling the truth. He said he had to score the test. doesnt he know just by looking at it if i passed or not. thanks, MD
Most polygraph operators score their charts numerically, assigning numeric values to reactions on each channel of the polygraph instrument. However, polygrapher biases and expectations can certainly influence outcomes.
Thanks George. I was just wondering if the examiner told me the drug question I showed the greatest response if that means I did not pass that or was he just trying to get me to spill my guts. Thanks, Mike
