Re: Well, apparently I failed

Hey Jitters...calm down.  I have been where you are and it hurts...deep to the core.

Don't get riled up at what these guys say on this board and do not even entertain them by replying.

I failed 3 polygraphs for being 100 % honest.  I told the truth and was accused of being a "chronic" drug user, and a cocaine dealer.  I am none of the above.

I was so devastated that it even hurt my family life and my work life.  I was so angry and so hurt I wanted to lash out at everyone.

Know this, God has a plan for your life that you may not even understand why or where, or what.  Obviously, you were not suppose to work at the agency you applied with.  Now, you know what to do in the future and you have great counsel in which to draw from here.

I applied the countermeasures as taught in TTBTLD and did not experience a fasle positive again.  Understand that countermeasures does not mean you are lying, it just means you have created a spike on your control measures to ensure your relevants are not going to be at the same level as your controls.  You do NOT have to lie in order to do this.  I have never lied on a question on a polygraph since and used countermeasures to ensure I do not get a "false positive".

Rest assured that on the next test for the next agency, you will be expecting and anticipating there questions and you will pass with flying colors.

Keep the faith, stay positive, don't let them win by destroying you!

You're in my prayers...God Bless!

I took my first polygraph and and failed.      I was accussed of studying anitpolygraph.org and trying to beat the BOX.  Until today I have never looked at any material to learn how to "beat the box".  I answered all questions with complete honesty.  The one question "in question" was  "Is there a secret reason you want to join the Irvine Police department?"  I thought the question humorous and let out a small chuckle.  The examiner then says I had a reaction with the secret question.  He kept telling me to breath normally.  I was just breathing like I always breath.  When I want to relax I have always praticed breathing in for two seconds and breathing out for four seconds.  I learned this relaxation technique from studying martial arts for years. I don't think they wanted me to relax.  

The examiner then repeated the questions because I had a "reaction" on the "Secret Question"  Knowing that the "secret question" was coming up again I think reacted in anticipation of the question.

At the end of the test I was berrated with accusations of having cheated.  I took my polygraph in Santa Ana, Ca.  The polygrapher is the one who is the liar.  I cant help but wonder how many hundreds or thousands of honest people this polygrapher has discredited.

I was very upset.  I beat out hundreds of applicants only to be cut at the end.

I challenge any polygrapher out there to explain away the reason the U.S. court systems do not use polygraph tests in court.  I challenge the polygrapher whom administered my test to explain this.  

Since my failed test I have studied the polygraph testing process and have discovered overwhelming evidence that Polygraph machines DO NOT WORK.  

If they did Then Jiiters comments would be very true "If the polygraph was such a technological marvel and so accurate why have trials? If this machine is so magical why not put it to great use and ensure the innocent go free and the guilty pay? Imagine the different world we would be living in if the polygraph was all it is boasted to be. But it is not, and that is fact, not opinion."

I will keep trying and will not give up.  Anyone else take the polygraph in Santa Ana, Ca?

So What do you say if the polygrapher askes if you have been to this website and studied the polygraph machine?
