Title: My Polygraph story and question
Post by: tester111 on Feb 09, 2014, 10:11 AM
Hi all, I'm applying for an internship at the NSA and I took the polygraph and I got through all the questions fine and I told the truth on every subject. However a question came up about illegal drugs to which I responded "no" to and the polygraph interpreted that as a Lie (I was telling the truth). The examiner was adamant that I had some sort of drug use in my past. Looking back it was actually kind of funny how closed mindedly convinced he was about it. He didn't schedule me for another polygraph that I know of.  My question is: Since he did not schedule me for another polygraph does this mean I passed? Or is he just sure that I have done drugs and have I lost the chance for an internship? Thanks

I'm unable to venture an educated guess as to whether you passed or not. Accusations of deception (followed by interrogation) are common, even against those whose charts are ultimately categorized as "no deception indicated."
