Just a general question on the polygraph. This is my second one, but first with a federal agency. I passed the first for my current position, now just waiting on the second to move up to the next level.

From what I understand it's a good thing if you don't have a post-test interview. I just went in, did my poly (albeit I was nervous as hell), and was told by the examiner he could not tell me anything due to the charts having to go through QC at FBI HQ. No "what were you thinking?" "You are peaking here." Et cetera.

After I was done I just proceeded to pee in a cup and get finger-printed downstairs and drove the three hours home.

So to those of you who have been through the lovely federal polygraph experience I seek your most-knowledgeable answers. Good to go?

P.S. -- I was truthful and candid as I was in the first polygraph.

. . . and was told by the examiner he could not tell me anything due to the charts having to go through QC at FBI HQ. Every fed agency I know of requires that two other polygraphers review the results of the test before a decision is made.
