Polygraph Lie Detector Reports
The final report of any lie detector test is arguably the “product” that a client receives following the exam itself. If prepared correctly, this document should provide a client with a clear understanding of the test issues, disclosures, and analysis of the data collected during the procedure. Any Examiner who does not commit to his/her test results by providing a written report should not be trusted. Here are the elements that every report should include.
