A pretest interview with the

the examination, and assesses the individual's emotional and
physiological suitability to take the test;

A review and interpretation of
the polygraph charts, from which the examiner will reach one
of three conclusions - that the subject is telling the truth;
that the subject is not telling the truth; or, that the results
are inconclusive. |
Upon completion of the examination a verbal report will be given
to the client, followed by a written report which will provide a
synopsis of the case information available to the examiner at the
time of the testing, a list of the relevant test questions, the
subject's answers, and the examiner's opinion as to the subject's
truthfulness or deception.
All of our examiners are licensed by the state of Illinois, which
requires at least a baccalaureate degree and successful completion
of a state licensing examination. In addition, all of our staff
were trained in the polygraph technique by attending an 882 hour
post-graduate program in the detection of deception including a
three month supervised internship.
