Recent past complaints: NO
Examiner gender: M
Summary per Client: Client wanted to prove to her boyfriend of 14 months that she had never cheated on him.
Examiner is also some sort of a social worker, and he told Client about other cases of his. Client said that Examiner talked and talked and talked about his own personal life and about other person's polygraph tests. Client said she wanted to interrupt him but thought he may not like that. Examiner told her Client seemed to be 'pretty honest'. Examiner told her to lie on certain questions he would be asking her during the test. Examiner asked if she had ever lied about 'anything big' to someone who trusted her; she said no, but he told her to say Yes to that during the test.
Examiner told her that she failed all questions about being faithful to her boyfriend. Client said she 'was floored'. She said she felt like she was set up.
