Client's wife says Examiner asked her husband 30 questions, and other examiners told her no more than four questions could be asked. She is concerned that this helped him to pass.
APA member: NO
Recent past complaints: NO
Examiner gender: M

Summary per Client's wife: Says several examiners told her that only 4 questions be asked.

Lack of understanding on her part. Client was not asked 30 different questions. Client was asked a standard 10-question polygraph chart. That chart was conducted three times with a short break in between each chart. And when other examiners advised of only allowing 4 questions, they were properly telling of four R questions (there are 3 types of questions in a polygraph chart); as it turns out, Client was indeed asked only four R questions.
