Police Hiring
Part of my career was spent in the polygraph unit. People who think they would not pass the polygraph are misinformed. The polygraph is not used to reveal hidden secrets, it is used to verify what the applicant has already disclosed. By the time the applicant gets to the polygraph test, he or she usually already disclosed their deep dark secrets on the disclosure forms or to the initial interviewer. Only after the application has been screened and the applicant deemed to be a viable candidate is the person sent for a polygraph test, therefore most of them have nothing to worry about, other than the unknown........but no matter how experienced the polygraph operator is, there are always surprizes.
Sorry for going off on a tangent on this thread.
