Polygraph Subject Behavior Analysis & Investigative Interpretation
Analyze polygraph results and subject behavior to identify deceptive patterns
What You Can Do
You can analyze polygraph examination data across cardiovascular, respiratory, and galvanic skin response metrics alongside behavioral observation to identify deceptive response patterns. This skill guides you through integrated interpretation of chart scores and subject demeanor to distinguish truthful, deceptive, and inconclusive responses, then document findings and plan targeted follow-up questioning that strengthens investigative validity for personnel security decisions.
Features
interpret cardiovascular, respiratory, and GSR data streams to identify stress correlates
cross-reference chart findings with subject presentation, consistency, and response timing
distinguish truthful, deceptive, and inconclusive responses using standardized interpretation protocols
generate defensible written summaries for security clearance adjudication and personnel decisions
develop targeted interview strategies based on identified inconsistencies and chart anomalies
document gaps between subject statements and physiological responses for investigative escalation
assess findings against security access requirements and determine escalation triggers
Example Output
Example 1: Deceptive Response Pattern
Input: Subject shows elevated GSR baseline, spike during critical question about foreign contacts, sustained cardiovascular elevation, and verbal stalling.
Output:
- Chart Score: 7 (Deceptive)
- Behavioral Indicators: Increased response latency, contradictory statement timing
- Recommendation: Conduct targeted interview on foreign contact details; consider counterintelligence referral
Example 2: Inconclusive Finding with Behavioral Red Flags
Input: Marginal chart score (1–2 range), but subject demonstrates defensive posture, evasive eye contact during sensitive questions, and inconsistent timeline statements.
Output:
- Chart Score: 1–2 (Inconclusive)
- Behavioral Indicators: Non-verbal defensiveness, statement inconsistencies
- Recommendation: Schedule follow-up examination; obtain subject statement clarification; continue background investigation
