"We occasionally refuse clients requests to ask certain questions because they would violate the ethical principals of our profession." The state polygraph operator licensing board meets regularly, and hears any complaints from examinees. Since formation in 1973, the board has never found cause to revoke a license, according to Barland. Barland is engaged in a yearlong statistical study of his examinees, and has the following breakdown of his first 100 polygraph tests during 75 of the applicants 1977: were hired, 25 were not. Of the 25, 17 were rejected because of an admission made to the examiner before taking the test. Seven were rejected on the basis of both the test and post-tes- admissions t made to the examiner. One applicant was rejected soley on the basis of the polygraph test. Barland points out that in no case docs an examiner make employment decisions. The examiner, he says, only delivers raw' data to the client. If the federal government gets into the polygraph regulating business, a proposal Barland feels would never get through Congress, it will not be treading on virgin territory.
