My concern is that changing breathing pattterns while trying to answer a question will not look natural will be detected as a CM.

Why is that? The Department of Defense Polygraph Institute recognizes 12 different changes in breathing as scorable reactions.

Quote:

Can I have an effective CM without trying to adjust my breathing?

It is not absolutely necessary to display significant reactions on any one channel of the polygraph instrument in order to pass. Whether countermeasures will be effective without a breathing reaction will depend in part on the size of any reaction(s) to the relevant questions.

Quote:

If not, what breathing change would you recommend as most undedectable and easiest to do while answering questions?

You might consider mental countermeasures; some people find that doing mental arithmetic or thinking exciting thoughts naturally produces an attendant breathing reaction (frequently, "blocking," the 12th DoDPI scorable reaction; see pp. 130-31 of the 2nd ed. of TLBTLD) without them having to consciously think about it.

Blue Face I recommend you not use CM's if your exam is for pre-employment. If it's criminal specific, knock yourself out. Using some of these CM's should turn your face blue.
