    Default Polygraph tomorrow...

    Doing the whole background, physical, polygraph thing for a job position in a vault tomorrow.

    Anyone have any tips for the polygraph? I don't have anything to hide, but I've never done anything like this before.

    5mg of Valium takes the edge off anything. A poly is easy once you relax, you have nothing to hide so go for it.

    Good luck dude I just got fucked by the Border Patrol on one. The racist ass Hispanic polygrapher had it out for whitey. Passed all parts until we reached national security. He said I was "bouncing" on terrorism questions. Fucker then had the audacity to say maybe it was my history with guns (I work at a gun store.) I'm appealing right now. Good luck bro.

    Well, crap. That sucks. The piece of paper I signed says they are not allowed to ask any questions regarding "racial issue, sexual orientation issues, religious issues or political issues" and that if anyone tries I am supposed to report them. So... hopefully they don't ask any of those questions.

    I was going to reply, but I never knew if I passed the one I took. I assume that I did, and that they didn't hire me for other reasons.

    Bouncing??? Did he actually use that word? That's slang for showing an autonomic response to the question/answer, but not conclusive unless it scores high enough to show a certainty of deception. Basically, he's probabaly not very good at his job. "brainstorming" results are typical and the whole point of lifestyle poly questions. That's what the bouncing is. It shows you are trying to think of anything in the past that meets the criteria of the question. If the results are indeterminate, it's grounds for a retest with another examiner or a secondary test with the initial examiner.

    Every agencies policies on testing is different, but the examiner is just as important as the questions.

    Border Patrol told me to pound sand honestly. This fag was head of the BPA Union years ago so no one steps on his toes. Fuck em honestly. I was a top candidate until that too. Yes he used that term btw.
