DOES THE EXAMINATION MEAN THAT THE POLYGRAPH IS INFALLIBLE?
No. Most examinations readily reveal to the polygraph examiner whether or not the person is truthful. Possible out-comes of any polygraph examinations are: Truthful, Deceptive or Inconclusive. “Inconclusive” means the examiner is unable to render an opinion of either Truthful or Deceptive in that particular case. The polygraph examiner may request a re-examination if the results are inconclusive. A re-examination is also voluntary. The aim of the polygraph examiner is to determine the truth. He/she must give careful attention to every person he/she is examining.
