I am wondering what type of questions they ask for CIA/FBI/NSA polygraph employment tests. I've googled it but didn't come up with much.
Arabian said:Yes.
They ask questions pertaining to your application for instance:
place of residence
how many times you have done illegal drugs
are you a homosexual
do you like childeren in a sexual way
have you ever stolen
have you ever defrfauded an employer
have you ever used an alias
are you working with a foriegn nation
are you an Amercian Citizen
have you ever accepted a bribe
have you ever had suicidal thoughts are you a maniac depressant
I can go on for an hour.. I could only answer yes or no... they will not let you answer any other way. The damn thing went on for an hour. the questions are taken off of your appplication

Well, can you figure where I am going................. and besides....... every post in here can be accessed to some point, by anyone, how do you know the CIA/FBI isn't here? I garantee they are..........

cindylou said:what if you stole a bracelet or something dumb when you are a kid?
You would have to answer yes, even though you have never really stolen anything, at least in your adult life. lol. Would that automatically raise a red flag or keep you from getting clearance? who could live up to such standards?

walliwalibus said:HAHAHAHA man you got off easy....... and what are ya doin' posting it. UH if they wanted that info out everyone would know it, seriously. I still say that was very general and no comment (hint in there)

nefertiti said:They only ask about the past ten years, anyway.
nefertiti said:Nah....I know people who admitted to doing illegal things that still got TS/SCI clearance (the highest level). The biggest hurdle is showing honesty as well as mental stability and not having anything in your past or present that could be used against you by an outside force to gain classified information. Of course it depends on what the activity was, how long ago it was, etc...but something like that wouldn't matter for shit. They only ask about the past ten years, anyway.
p0ink said:not so.
nefertiti said:(shrug) well maybe the polygraph part is different, but my understanding is that TS/SCi only goes back that far as far as the investigation part goes. Still, cindy stealing a bracelet when she was a wee one wouldn't matter.
AV its not... its just a form of intimadation that they use.. The US court systems have deemed it unconstitutional....Army Vet said:Thanks. I finally found a site that actually had some listed. It was tough to find it though.
I've read up a lot on it and it doesn't seem all that reliable.

Dont list it on your application. They only know what you tell them.. They ask standard questions unless you confess or write a novel in your application....Army Vet said:On another note, like some questions I have seen ask if you have stolen anything.
I can't list the times I have pilfered something. For example, in the military we would be doing patrols during exercises and hit the visiting troops at night and take everything. One time we got away with four new HUMVEE tires (took them off the damn thing while the other guys were sleeping 50 feet away lol) If they ask me if I have stolen something, what the hell d? I say "Yes" and during the interview they are going to ask "What and how many times?" I'll have a laundry list lol
Perhaps I am being paranoid.
At least I don't need to worry about the homosexual questions lol
p0ink said:dood...you are bring entirely too paranoid. they don't look for things to disqualify you, they just want to know you are honest...
and like the military...there are always waivers (if you need one)
nefertiti said:Yes, well, I'm talking about the highest level of clearance. My last boyfriend worked for JTTF with the FBI and had the highest level clearance possible (TS/SCI). For TS it goes back seven years and they don't always polygraph.
p0ink said:ts/sci is not the highest level.
nimbus said:what specific clearance are you trying to get?
Nobody here knows about what every single type of application entails process. Just because someone has a TS/SCI doesn't mean they know anything your specific situation; the whole point of SCI is that you need to special clearance for each different compartment, of which there tons of. TS/SCI requirement and screening procedure are different among different branches such as the FBI, CIA, and NSA; and are also different between various task forces within each branch. So nobody here has the right answer for you with any certainty, yet.

nimbus said:my good friend took it and failed it for a really stupid reason; i can't remember what it was but i'll call her tomorrow and ask about it.
Army Vet said:let me know when you find out.
nimbus said:so i also found out that they ask a lot of questions about your employment and specifically what you did when you were unemployed. they also ask about places you've traveled, and people you listed as references. criminal record is also discussed, and sometimes they ask you about your sexual history
Army Vet said:Looks like the same old crap they always ask.
BTW - did she admit to the aderall use after she failed the test?

walliwalibus said:good point 1500, yes, right on the head. How long was the session?
1500 said:The initial 100 or so questions usually takes over an hour. Then another 30 to an hour on the box. Most that I have passed give the test three times, if deception is shown on the same question twice, then you are given it a third time. If you show deception on lets say two separate questions, but only on one of the tests, then you will only be administered two tests.
I PURPOSELY showed deception on "are the lights on in the room"? (an obvious control question) and believe it or not " have you ever stolen anything in your life"? (Another obvious control question) MOst agencies know that you have stolen something like a pen from work etc, and you're not going to remember all of these times, thus most likely show deception, which makes this question a very good control.
One skilled in taking a polygraph will know that you WANT to show the highest level of deception that you can on these controlled questions. Those of you familiar with the polygraph will know why.
scooter22 said:One of the questions they ask is,,, "Have you studied ways to beat the polygraph, specifically using the interntet?".... LOL
nimbus said:no she didn't lie at all, she confessed to taking it during the test, and they failed her because of it
