Client says Examiner, pre-test, had him write a complete statement about his past infidelities. Then she tested him using the client requested questions, questions that had nothing to do with the data on the statement. He says she failed him on questions he was completely truthful on. He feels she was prejudiced by the unrelated written statement she had him write. He had used examiners in the past, none requiring the writing of such a statement.

APA member: YES
Recent past complaints: NO
Examiner gender: F

Update per Client: Examinee was later tested by a different examiner, who did not require such a pre-statement to be written. Examinee was found to be non-deceptive.
