Hello everybody...
I was wondering is there such thing as being too truthful during the poly interview/questionaire? I recently had my poly, and I think i did ok on the actual polygraph, I am worried that I was too honest on my questionaire. Will this affect my application? I mean nothing that I said was anything that I think or anybody else I've talked to thinks is horrible, but I'm not sure what they will make of it. For instance, at a former employer, I copied software to use at home only for doing company work at home or to educate myself. Would the value constitute something like felony theft? Also I told them that at one time, I had a very short relationship with somebody who was 17 when I was over 18, but it never went anywhere beyond one instance of kissing and making out. I also told them, that I had inadvertantly seen something that I considered to be child porn on the net. I made it clear that I was not searching for it, it had merely been present someplace else on the net and I closed whatever window it had appeared in immediately. The investigator asked me if I could differentiate between preteen and teens. I said I could. And he seemed fine with that. I am worried about this mostly even though, it was in essence nothing I could control.
Now will they assume the worst about me, or take my word? Will they see that I was completely forthcoming and brutally honest? Will they even look at those questions, or are they purely for the poly exam?
I'm worried that some dumb events that are not at all a reflection of who I am, will ruin my chances.
Any thoughts?
