Polygragh Results

SECURITY CLEARANCE Q&A
1

Hi everyone. I took my FSP today and was told I past both CI and Lifestyle. However, the examiner said I was popping up sensitive on a couple of separate adjudication questions that they ask when someone fails prior polygraph tests.

The examiner told me he spoke with his supervisor and said he does not expect me to get called back in for another poly. This was my second poly since I failed the first one 6 months ago.

Just wanted to know if anyone experienced this and the likelihood of me obtaining a clearance.

With certain agencies, in particular the CIA and NSA, it is typical for applicants to be subjected to multiple polygraph sessions. Even when an applicant ultimately passes, these agencies’ polygraph divisions like to keep applicant in doubt and feeling insecure.

Based on what you’ve described, I don’t doubt that you passed, and having done so, it’s likely that you will be granted a security clearance unless some adjudicatively significant derogatory information is found.
