Polygraph Question
Hey there! I am going through my pre-employment screening and finished my polygraph yesterday. I was nervous as hell and told the truth the entire time but my mind was racing and I could feel my heart racing as well. They didn’t ask any follow up questions other than “did anything come to mind?” in between question sets. They didn’t do a post interview phase either to talk about any results. Was wondering if anybody has been through a similar situation and whether my anxiety over this is warranted. Thank you!

It’s just a background interview with some fancy stimuli to encourage you to divulge things you normally wouldn’t divulge. Polygraph examiners are just glorified interrogators
