The National Academy of Sciences has just issued a devastatingly critical
report on
polygraph testing. It is especially critical of the kind of
pre-employment screening used by many fire departments.
I'm a co-founder of
AntiPolygraph.org, a website dedicated to the abolishment of polygraphy from
the American workplace. I was one of the speakers invited by the National
Academy of Sciences' polygraph panel to address its members in Washington, DC.
I'd be happy to discuss polygraph matters with anyone here who is interested.
If you are facing a pre-employment polygraph examination, you need to know how
these purported "tests" really work (and don't). It would be worthwhile to take
a look at the NAS report referenced above. See also AntiPolygraph.org's free
e-book, The Lie
Behind the Lie Detector, which may be downloaded as a PDF file or
browsed in HTML format.
