What makes a polygraph inconclusive




















What does that term really mean? Does it mean that the suspect sort of told the truth and sort of told some lies? Can I eliminate him as a suspect? Is he leaning towards being deceptive or nondeceptive? All caps have brims. Some baseball caps are blue. Baseball caps have no brims. More Verbal Reasoning Questions Q1.

Here it can take up to a month to get polygraph results.

The whole process from time of application to date of hire can take up to 1. Plus another 6 months in the academy.

It took a lot of people 2 years from the time they applied to actually going out on patrol. Honest people can fail the polygraph. These machines cannot measure truthfulness. Since the test itself is very stressful, it is not hard to understand why honest people can falsely fail it. I often get asked by clients prior to a test if their nerves can affect the Lie Detector Test. The simple answer is no. Firstly a Lie Detector Test takes place in a controlled neutral environment with as little distractions as possible why we don't do tests in peoples homes in order to try and put you at ease.

Both during and after the test, a polygraph examiner can look at the graphs and can see whether the vital signs changed significantly on any of the questions. In general, a significant change such as a faster heart rate, higher blood pressure, increased perspiration indicates that the person is lying. Most polygraph examinations last between one and two hours , but the examinee is only attached to the polygraph instrument for 15 to 20 minutes.

There are exceptions some of which include criminal testing or screening tests. The typical polygraph examination involves three separate phases. An agency may deny employment at their own place for a failed polygraph , but they won't be denying you a clearance , just agency specific suitiability.

Clearances don't take into effect results of polygraphs , but they will take into account admissions. It is inadmissible as evidence in most federal courts and military courts martial. Some employers have refused to consider the results of polygraph tests when evaluating job applicants. Answer: Much like D, this would be a logical thing to conclude in real life some employers must choose to ignore these results if they know they don't tell you much. Hope that helps! General Discussion. Re: When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive,there is no reflection on [ permalink ] Oct 21, am.

Premise 1: Sometimes machine do not work properly and give inconclusive results. Means match tie. Premise 2: employers will sometimes refuse to hire a job applicant because of an inconclusive polygraph test result. It is possible, but not always. Sometimes it may be truthful. A conclusion can never be a suggestion.

The word "Should". Yes true. Yes true, but sometime. Examinee can be truthful in an inconclusive test result and this choice do not address premise 2. I am not concern what some employer did. Hope this helps!

Re: When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive,there is no reflection on [ permalink ] May 17, pm. Reasoning: A: Not mentioned in stimulus. B: Whether it should be used is not mentioned in stimulus.

C: Must be true , because an honest applicant with an inconclusive polygraph test will be denied hiring. D: Untruthful polygraph tests are not part of the stimulus. E: Employer refusal to consider results is not part of the stimulus. D is especially tricky, because just one word untruthful makes it an out of scope answer. Re: When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive,there is no reflection on [ permalink ] Jul 23, pm.

I was down to B vs. C, but C seemed pretty obvious. The previous posts didn't quite bring this out, so I am adding my explanation. B - Polygraph tests should not be used by employers in the consideration of job applicants. This one is tempting, but you MUST keep in mind what the passage is talking about. Is it polygraph tests resuts? It is inconclusive polygraph tests results. It's easy to miss that distinction, which is why you're being tested on it.

For this question, Catching that distinction is the key for eliminating B. What if the polygraph tests are conclusive, and say that the applicant sucks or that he's telling the truth? The passage offers no thoughts on that. The author's focus is only on inconclusive tests C - An inconclusive polygraph test result is sometimes unfairly held against the examinee.

C is tricky - it involves bringing in a very small assumption the assumption being that inconclusive polygraph tests are unfair. Since inference questions are supposed to stick extremely close to the text, I get nervous when I require assumptions on inference questions. Still, this is a small assumption, and everything looked right, and I was down to B vs.

I felt like the unfairness aspect is a small leap given the author's tone in the passage. I felt like this leap is much smaller than the leap of riding off an entire polygraph test. FYI - the author's tone is indicated by phrases like "this is no reflection on the examinee", and "nevertheless".

So, I chose C. Hope that makes sense. Re: When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive,there is no reflection on [ permalink ] Jul 24, am. Re: When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive,there is no reflection on [ permalink ] Jul 26, am.

When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive,there is no reflection on the examinee. Rather,such a judgement means that the test has failed to show whether the examinee was truthful or untruthful. Nevertheless,employers will sometimes refuse to hire a job applicant because of an inconclusive polygraph test result.

Word usage : Infact, are showing us the definite answers. Whereas in the stem uses truthful or untruthful.
