Recent past complaints: YES
Examiner gender: M

Per Client:
Examiner is an older man who came in to test her. He said that because she 'did bad on one question, it skews the entire test' and failed her.

He did not provide the promised report.

Client later went to a more experienced examiner and passed her test.

Wording is very important for polygraph testing. Client advised that other examiners told her that the first examiner's choice of C questions (one was 'Are you a moral person?') were improper, too weak, and/or were of wording not recommended in the last 25 years.

Also to say that failing one question negatively affects the remainder of the test, that too was told to be untrue. There are methods to follow to prevent such a statement to be true.

UPDATE: As client knew the first examiner's results were worthless the very second he said them, combined with the fact that she then passed a polygraph test administered by a more experienced examiner, Client asked the first examiner for a refund. Examiner (in his 70s) refused, asking her if the second examiner 'was extra nice to you because you were pretty'.
