Wow, polygraphing for job candidates? That's dumb. Best of luck to you, bro.

There are many people who have been through what you are going through. Hang in there. Lol. A polygraph is a joke. I don't know how a polygraph examiner lives with themselves knowing their whole life is a complete joke. What a sad, miserable life. A polygraph is just an excuse not to hire someone for another reason. It's a cop out. Like a psychological evaluation. If they want to hire you they wouldn't waste your time. Take your power back and work for an organization that respects you.

You may be right. It should have made sense the very first time i took one of these tests where the examiner told me he detected deceit where one of the questions asked concerned adultery. Funny how one could come to such a conclusion when at that time in my life i was not married nor had i ever been. Incredibly to save face he then reworded the question (after the test was over) after i politely told him this. "Oh.. well... then what about cheating? ever just cheat on a girlfriend?" He asked. So after the test you get to just change a question when i called you out on your own bullshit? Adultery is rather specific don't ya think. I would have simply laughed and gotten some humor from it all if it were not for the fact it is severely affecting my reputation and job prospects. I think he had me mixed up with another applicant whom he thought was married but realized his fuck up when he saw i had never been married. What gets me is how he just reworded to save face AFTER THE TEST. These guys have no integrity.

I'm pissed the fuck off too I lost a job cause of this piece of shit machine lol

Man. I actually lost my old job (luckily it was just some job in highschool) because someone stole something but I failed the test. I would never steal from anyone. It's ridiculous.

😂 😂 😂

Paradox 😆

same. exact same shit here. I most likely can't be a cop now

Unclenate1000 Each department uses there own and some departments have enough money to retest you. Some police departments on the east coast don't even use it and some are currently scrapping it. As long as you did'nt lie, you still have a chance. I appealed mine when they told me i failed and won.

Did you get retested/hired on?

@@depwater12 because you are Untruthful

Thanks Conover

they arent because its bs...

you hope. more likely they will take it into account seriously

See my post above (newest), as you might find it applies to your situation when you took a polygraph.

that's what i thought and it turned out to be absolutely the case, despite the lies of the polygrapher saying being nervous won't screw me.

+Patrick Cusack Sorry I sounded so ignorant in my spelling.I get your point.No credence can be put here.I see these t.v.shows, & you can USUALLY TELL who is lying even BEFORE results are in! But to put someone's LIFE ON THE LINE is RIDICULOUS! Although I DO BELIEVE that a LOT of them ARE LIARS.

+Samanna 7 Samanna, thank you for your comment. The one thing of import here is that the individuals who are interviewed in this KZfaq most likely read this blog, yet you do not see them responding to me. Why? Because they know we are right. My main purpose here is not to put balm on long past wounds I experienced at the hands of the "snake oil polygraph sales men" but to let others know how to protect themselves. I had money and lawyers, an uncle in the F.B.I., no criminal record and a government security clearance, yet inaccurate polygraphs could have landed me in trouble. What is the average person to do (realize many good law enforcement applicants have been passed over thru required, inaccurate polygraph tests too). And lastly, Who can pass polygraph; pathological con men. The only thing I can advise is never, never take a polygraph unless you are playing a parlor game with friends. Thanks again for your thoughts Samanna 7

please make a movie please write a book

It's all based on your nervousness. A psychopath could beat one of these without trying.

@Странно Хрипы And you think your what.. going to heaven with that filthy mouth? Also the other guy confessed and totally vindicated him.

Dominic Deacon All question are reviewed with the Examinee & the examinee answers all questions before they are attached to the instrument. Therefore, no surprises, no trickery. If you have been on a polygraph, you would know that there are some questions which are are somewhat ambiguous and you will either not be 100% sure of your answers or you will lie outright to avoid exposure or embarrassment . The examinee knows exactly what's coming during the actual test phase.....Nervousness is part of the natural state during a polygraph & will affect the physiological parameters equally. An attempt by a person to purposely deceive on a relevant question causes a significantly greater reaction to any other questions on the test. This is what a Polygraph Examiner is looking for.

***** Polygraph instruments granted, don't measure deception. However a physiological response to the greater fear of detection cannot be denied. Any Polygraph Examiner who gives greater credence to any relevant question between charts is looking for trouble and I agree that you would become sensitized. I don't disagree that there are institutions which are using the polygraph solely as an interrogation tool as opposed to it's intended use as a tool to assist in investigations. I personally believe that the pre-employment polygraph testing question format is too broad in scope to hold any water as an accurate technique.

no way! incredible

Honest Person exactly

Especially since they ask you yes or no questions. If you need imagination for that, you are not mentally capable enough to agree to the test. They have clearly never meet a toddler who wants a cookie. Now that is some imaginative lying.

they accurate but not solide prove

They are admissible in certain circumstances in half of the states

Corporations can’t use them but the government can like the NSA, CIA, FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies.

There is no perfect thing to define the thruth and the lie. My point is, we got nervous to say wether it's thruth or lie when it comes to interview. does it matter if we tell the opposite?

Thruth over lies , Lies over thruth

right on

+Shelly Blanchard Dan ribacoff is Steve Wilkos lackey he'll try to make people believe the test is accurate it would be funny if they had a guest come on the Steve Wilkos show and then the guest mentions how serial killers passed the test before I bet Steve or Dan wouldn't know what to say

So true. I heard one time on another show how person passed a lie detector and did the crime , and lied about it on the test , then told how he commited it. So you can't always go by how you skin or will react. Some people doesn't care if they are caught not telling the true. It is what ever the polygraph s told to test them on. The guy doesn't want to lose his job so he will tell what he what to hear. I have seen it a lot times and felt sorry for the who is trying keep his family together and this guy will destroy it will with a few questions saying it it below this or above that. The family member wants to put the blame so they will run over and attack them. Steve get a kicks out of it.

I guess it depends on the situation. I had seen a case where a man did it specifically for couples who suspect cheating or something of the sort. Except his reason for doing it was basically you shouldn't be with someone who doesn't even trust you enough to believe you. And in that case, I think he may have even done it in a way that didn't remove any false positives.

Sure you did......

Trying to imagine this lol 😂😭 Applicant: Have you done drugs? You: Did I so drugs yesterday 🤔 You: No

SelfMadeTray I promise you I took three polygraphs it worked every time

I’m applying to RCMP I’m going to try this. Been super nervous since I’ve done a lot of shit

@@pur3strnu6 yes that was me too I was sitting there and I did all sorts of hideous things and I’m applying for a police officer but I passed for with flying colors rephrase the question when they ask you the question I. Your head have you ever done drugs or sold drugs just say have I ever done drugs sold drugs since I turn my life around and you honestly answer no and I passed it works answer a different question in your head And you’re not lying We all do stupid things and God believes in second chances

this channel i suppose

me. i have a problem were my brain doubts things that are obviously true because of nervousness.

xtremeruleroflife yes because your using energy to think about it. Dont think about anything, hear the question and answer yes or no

@@ronniehoover9781 hahahahaah if you staying too calm will you produce flat charts that indicate the counter measures and you faile the test if you are guilty you faile the test any way its hard to preduce normal charts if you are guilty
