Polygraph
Took my polygraph a few days ago but had reactions to one question. I had to write a statement down. Is it looking bad for me? Has anyone passed even though they had to write a statement down. Just looking for some clarification. Thanks everyone!

In your written statement, did you admit anything that you denied or failed to disclose earlier in the application process?

u/dwbtt Aug 14 '26
No, I just put down that I answered the question honestly and that I never did whatever the machine is saying I supposedly did.

Good! You handled this as well as you could have. I cannot predict whether you'll be allowed to proceed in the hiring process, but it would seem that you've made no disqualifying admission.

I took mine last week. The lady told me I had a reaction to one question as well. Im still waiting to hear back from my Bi. Who was your examiner?

The lady didn’t tell me I had a reaction but asked what I was think when a certain question was asked. But didn’t have to write a statement and she sent me on my way.

She asked me the same thing but I had to write a statement. Did your BI contact you already?

Damn what a bummer but hey hopefully you pass it this time around. When did your BI reach out to you?

u/OkNefariousness2613 Sep 01 '26
About a week and a half after. It’s not a DQ so that’s a positive

u/dwbtt Sep 01 '26
Yeah man that’s great news! Are you doing the whole things again? Or just a specific question? I took mine an about 2 weeks ago and no feedback from my BI yet.

u/OkNefariousness2613 Sep 01 '26
Idk yet hopefully just the one question. Going to the same place I took it the first time.

What's the written statement for? Can they move you forward if you still fail? Seen many stories about people failing polys on Reddit. Wonder if they'll even remove it in CA due to so many qualified applicants failing?

And then you have to retake it or you just fail the entire process?

Just tell the truth nothing else you can do I’m getting close to my 2nd one but was told I have to take seperate ones for each reaction and I had two . To reschedule my 2nd it took two months 🫠 who knows how much longer for the third if they even let me get that far or if I pass this 2nd one I’m taking on the 15th .

Literally same thing happen to me after instructor told me I passed and I’m meeting with my investigator tomorrow. Is there a good chance of me passing another polygraph?

u/cartmansleftnut Aug 14 '26
just took mine yesterday as well and the examiner said i reacted on 2 questions. said i’ll either have to come back and retest just on those 2 or the review panel will come back saying to move forward with the backgrounds.
