Does No Post Interogation Equal Polygraph Success?

I apologize if this topic has been answered before, but I could not find direct confirmation of this. I did review LBTLD and that didn't provide an answer. If you did not receive a post interrogation after a 2nd polygraph it is possible your chances of passing are 50/50 or better. To clarify matters, after my first polygraph  I was interogated on a crime issue, but I remained honest and didn't change my stance. My 2nd polygraph ended and I didn't receive any post interogation. My assumption from the various comments I have read is that 1) The interogator could be bluffing and not admitting I failed, 2) I actually passed, or 3) Inconclusive. Any comments are greatly appreciated. Oh, the agency is CIA.

It is customary for polygraphers to conduct an interrogation and seek admissions when the polygraph charts are scored as "deception indicated." Thus, the absence of a post-test interrogation is a very positive sign. That said, there is simply no way of divining whether you might be called back for yet another polygraph session.

Just wanted to update the thread. I did receive a favorable review and have moved on. There is validity to issue of no post-test interview, but obviously the circumstances differ for everyone.

"anon fool",

...and in every department/agency.

Not all potential employers interrogate or try to "clear up" weak issues after a test and it does not mean a pass. It could have been something said, it could be a failed test and no reason to retest or try to fix things and move on.
