I've been reading different things about the Polygraphs lately, and www.antipolygraph.org says that people who have even told the truth have failed, and it does happen. And I'm just nervous about it. And certain questions that they ask, I'm just wondering if I have done something in the past that I can't remember of, and I'm just wondering that when I was much much younger (around 10-12), if I came accross any people that may have been under 18 years of age or not in pornographic material, or a popup or something.
I don't know much of that stuff, and it is just causing me to worry, because I'm afraid when I take the test, even though I may be telling the truth, in the back of my mind, I'll remember the questions I'm asking myself now, and wonder if it would have any effect on the test, because I'm sure it will! Why don't they just get rid of Polygraph tests?!
I'm afraid that it will actually stop a good person that obeys and follows the laws and wants to be a Police Officer really badly like me out of the question. Even though I may mess up and they may think I'm lying on just even ONE question that might be serious, even though I don't have *ANY* criminal record, and I have a great employment record, etc...
What if I just accidently came accross something I shouldn't have seen, that may have took place long ago... why should that determine whether or not I get a job being a Police Officer?
Can somebody who is educated on this stuff explain to me what your fears were when you took the Polygraph test, and what your outcome was... and if they tried to play any mind games on you like people claim they do.. I'm just... ugh! Help me! =(
