Idiosyncrasies in Chart Evaluation

Journal Title: European Polygraph - Year 2018, Vol 44, Issue 2

Abstract

The “Defensible Dozen” based on our research properly identifi es two-thirds of the valid physiological reactions occurring in polygraph examinations. However, one third of the reactions fall outside of its defi nition based more on idiosyncratic individual reaction patterns. Lower frequency in response appearance does not indicate lack of existence! The “Defensible Dozen” is an excellent starting point for new professionals in the field; however as examiners progress in their development and goal to make the most accurate determinations possible, examiners must be familiar with these idiosyncratic individual reaction patterns and them into their decision making process.
