    1) The document discusses the differences between accuracy and reliability as they relate to polygraph results. Accuracy refers to how true or valid the results are, while reliability is about consistency of measurements. 2) There are two types of reliability - interrater reliability which is agreement among examiners, and test-retest reliability which is an examiner's agreement with their own previous decisions. 3) The goals of polygraph testing are sensitivity (ability to detect issues) and specificity (ability to reject non-involved cases). The American Society for Testing and Materials provides thresholds for accuracy of 90% for evidentiary exams and 80% for investigative exams, with an allowable inconclusive rate

    Note:
    o Reliability is not the same as validity,
    which means accuracy. A technique cannot
    be more valid than it is reliable. A
    technique can have high agreement without
    high accuracy, though the reverse is not
    true.
