Complaint about a California polygraph examiner: a PI advertising polygraph gave a telephone quote of $300 for a test to be 'done by an NSA examiner', but told client that client can write up to 16 questions to be asked, whereas professional standards teach that more than four relevant questions would violate guidelines and would have very poor accuracy.

All per client:

Client needed a relationship test. Calling several examiners, client got similar prices quotes along with standard (Federal-guidelines) instructions to prepare up to three or four questions of importance to be used during the test.

Then client called a newly-licensed private investigator who was advertising polygraph services. Client was surprised to hear he could have 5 or 6 times as many questions asked  by this 'NSA examiner' as with examiners doing proper exams.

No real polygraph test will have more than 4 relevant questions. This is also an example of a non-examiner selling examiner services.
