Title: CIA poly: did i pass or fail?
Post by: steve1 on Jan 08, 2013, 04:37 PM
Hi all. I had my agency polys during the 3-day a few months ago and am not sure how to interpret what happened.

Throughout the whole experience, i was very nervous due to the whole "is there anything i'm forgetting that i'm not admitting to" thing. So, I produced responses to questions where I didn't really have anything to admit to. Still, I explained my feelings and was very forthcoming, polite, and helpful the entire time. But, since I produced responses, they brought me back for the 2nd poly the next day (or do they just bring everyone in a second time? i saw most of the other applicants waiting for their 2nd poly too). The same thing happened -- but this time i was producing responses to questions. I was still very helpful, and admitted everything I could think of.

We ended up running out of time.

I was under the impression you knew at the end whether you passed or failed, and that inconclusive results meant failure. So,

did I pass?
did I fail?
did I probably fail but with a slim chance of my quiet background investigation overruling it?

Anyone else have this experience? and find out one way or another?

Thanks!

I haven't had that experience, but based on feedback from those who have, it seems likely, based on the evident lack of a final accusation of deception or withholding of information, that you either passed or that the charts were scored as "inconclusive" at worst.

Thanks george. Hopefully you're right and i'll either hear back positive or they'll let me come back for a third.

As I remember, I wasn't given any type of definitive evaluation following my polygraph "interview" at the "Agency". >:(
