[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine any job where your level of fidelity would come into question. It has nothing to do with any job you might perform, so why would they ask such a specific question?

I've never taken a polygraph, but I would assume questions would be more like "have you ever taken anything from the office that does not belong to you"  "have you ever lied for your boss" "did you earn a degree from XYZ University" "do you currently use illegal drugs"

Whatever you do OP, just be honest.  [/quote]

…..I know one person who was asked to name all affair partners.[/quote]

Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. I didn’t even know the names of some of the guys I hooked up with. Affair Partner is a generic term in my case, because quite a few of them were totally anonymous NSA type trysts. In the interest of clarity and context, I had some issues I was dealing with at the time with body image after my first pregnancy, and that kind of fed into a sex addictive pattern of behavior, where I guess I felt I had to prove to myself I was still desirable and attractive. So I went down a path of casual hook ups and anonymous encounters. I saw a few guys on the side regularly, but a lot more ONS’s and other stuff. It was the early 2000’s, I was getting with guys on Craigslist. The kind of stuff that my H, or any man frankly, just wouldn’t be able to get past. It would be the end of us, period.  So naming people would literally be impossible. [/quote]

This is exactly the dirt they are looking for. If you’re hiding something from your husband and someone else finds that out (which in your case is very possible because there are a lot of someone elses), [b]they could use that information to blackmail you.[/b] That makes you a security risk.[/quote]

Yes, that is what they believe. But that is a huge stretch. Same thing goes for people who aren't financially stable. Hell, if that is the theory, then half of gov employees should have been fired in 2009 when the housing market crashed. The idea that you are going to sell out your country because you're in debt or because you did something you aren't proud of is a bit over the top. The problem is that people in this line of work (poly, personnel security, adjudications) tend to be rule follower types and really have difficulty thinking critically. They will always justify what they are doing, doesn't matter what it is. [/quote]
