Obviously, the interviewer is implying about loyalty to the state (“state” as in country, not a US State) or to an administration, and I know that they are implying that. But I am not loyal to an administration. But I know that’s what they actually meant.
How would the polygraph interpret it if I say “Yes”, because I’m answering based on my interpretation of loyalty to the constitution, but deep down, I full well know the implied question the interviewer is asking.
🤔
You fell for snake oil
Did you actually read my comment? Again, I am not saying that it works, but that it doesn’t MATTER whether it works, because they are going to do the polygraph anyway, and this person needs to know the actual procedure, not useless navel-gazing about how, surprising nobody, the US government uses ridiculous tests, spends obscene amounts of time and money, and all of it amounts to a fucking vibe check.
YES, it’s WORTHLESS, but that isn’t going stop the fucking fascist across the table from you from judging you by it, and arguing over it is PRECISELY as worthless as the test itself.
OP needs to state to their interviewer that they’re a strict constitutionalist, and take the oath so maybe they can do something good, or at least prevent something bad. That’s it.
The polygraph process doesn’t care about what the person means because it isn’t even measuring personal convictions or whether the person even thinks they are lying or telling the truth. If you think a polygraph has any meaning whatsoever other than what the person ‘reading’ it wants it to mean then you have fallen for snake oil.
They will judge you no matter what you do. The polygraph is just setting dressing like the room you are interviewed in and how the interviewer acts and how they word questions. The squiggles on the paper don’t mean anything!
Right, and they need to know what the process is, because the ACTUAL interview is at the BEGINNING, without the machine, like I SAID at the BEGINNING. That is the part that they need to focus on.
Christ, it’s like the only reason you’re responding is as some kind of “gotcha”. You can either provide useful information about the process, which is what actually matters to this person, or you can just keep acting like a dick.
You should work on your reading comprehension.
No.
Nobody succeeds at taking a polygraph. They successfully complete an interrogation that happens to include a polygraph as part of the process.
It is an important distinction.
I am now convinced that you didn’t even read their comment past the first sentence.
The “success” is about the person succeeding in getting a job, despite the fact that they use snake oil during the hiring process.
The person is interviewing for a job. If they want the job, they have to take the stupid test. It’s really not hard to understand.
Where did I say anything about not taking the polygraph?
I dunno bud, you seem to be confused as to what you’re even arguing about. The person you attempted to call out literally agrees with you.
