HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET RESULTS?

[George W. Maschke]

George - What do you think of my take on the process? Does that sound about right?

If the polygraph is in connection with a job application, you'll know whether or not you passed based on whether you continue to advance in the hiring process.

In response to Xolani's question, the polygraph operator will have scored your charts before you leave the polygraph suite. Often, but not always, the result will be reviewed by a supervisor. How long it will take for Xolani to receive the results is anyone's guess.

Usually, if the polygraph operator doesn't tell you that you've failed and doesn't conduct a post-test interrogation, that is a good indication that you've passed.

For what it's worth, when I applied to a local city PD the polygrapher asked me at the end "How do you think you did?" and I honestly answered "Good!" and according to the PD I failed it.
