STATISTICAL STUDY ON THE USE OF THE POLYGRAPH 

AS A PERSONNEL S~URITY SCREENING AID 

1. An agency ot the goverment which uses the PoJ¥graph as a personDGl 

security screening aid submits herewith a detailed study ot their P~graph 

operation for the period l Bovember 1951 to 31 December 1952~ !he study 

oovers the pol,ygraph interview of SOS6 1Ddividuals. 

2o Ot the 5056 1Dd1Yicluala concerned, 5012 volunteered tor a Poqgraph . ·······" 

: in'teniew, and 44 refused to do so. The 5012 who volunteered are further 

broken down into two diatimt oategor1ea: 3865 who were inteni•ecl prior 't~ 

aapl.OJ1191lt and 1147 who were recruited ,in the t'ield and were interviewed 

·after thq were employed. Ot those who rei"used to take a Poqgraph test, 42 

were applicants and 2 were employees. 

3. All figures in the attached tabulations relating to •Admissions" 

or •Reactions without Admissions• are der1Ted trom a tabulation ot actual 

oase result•. A total of 784 background investigations. (230 field recruitments, 554 local recruitments) which had been completed tor ind1Yiduala 

covered bJ' thia atuQ.v, were reviewed and correlated with the results o£ the 

P~graph :lmerri.na. In addition, elose correlation cf teminationa and 

resignations, as ret'lected ~ the latest roster of persmmel, a.lid mandatory 

reports of discrepancies between background investigations and .Poqgraph 

reports assure that the results ~this stwv are accurate. 

4. Of the 1147 emplq,yeea who were J.ntervined, S06 indicated no deception 

and gave no 1nt01'Jllation requiring evaluation, while 641 indicated deception . or gave information which required evaluation. Of thie latter group lll 

wa1'8 tend.Dated or permitted to resign 111 lieu ot termination. 67 ot these 

{' 

t81'Dd.nat1ons and resignations were on gromida ot sax deviations. A t°'81 of 

70 were held pending receipt ~ background investigations, and the rema1111Dg

460 were datermiDed to be qualified for employment. There.tore, a total of 

966, or appro.dmate.q 84$ o£ the total field recruitments, were retained in 

Agency empl07. 

S. Ot the .386S applican,'l;s who were interviewed, l 703 inaicated no 

deception, gave no information requiring evaluation by higher authorit;y, and 

were hired. The remaining 2162 indicated deception or made major or minor 

admissions requiring evaluation by higher authorit7. Ot this latter group, 

1352 were determined not.qual.1tied tor emp;J.CJ1m8111; with the agency, the apl07Ent of 41 was held up pending receipt of complete background investigations, and 769 were hired. Therefore 2472 applicants were hired, or 

approximately' 63% ot the total applying tor emplo,yment. 

6. A stud,y ot the breakdovJns of test results listed in Tables III and 

IV reveals that the Poqgraph interview developed pertinent information to 

a far greater eXtent than the background investigation in each ot the areas 

covered. This is particularly true in areas which are not a matter o:t record, 

such as subversive sym.pat~ or activities, communist friends and relatives, 

undetected crimes, and drug addiction. It is also true at such factual 

thin&• as a cr2 mj M] record or the falaUication of the Statement ot Personal. 

B1sto1'1', al'though 1n leaser degree. 

7 o The tow.l extent ot the information developed through the Poqgraph 

interview 11 not aompletelT revealed 1n the Tables which follow. For aim• 

plicit7 of tabula1;1on,, onq one admission in 8IJY area was recorded .tor Bf13 

one individual. It is generally true, however, that each person, who 

admitted involvement in the pertinent areas under study, admitted complicit7 

in more than one act. One indication of the inf'ormation developed llllQ' be 

derlnd .trom the tact that 90 emp10'J'9es coTered by this stuey were terminated 

sol~ on the basis ot inf'ormation developed by the Polygraph, while 6 were
