I suppose if it was a male interviewer interrogating a female applicant they would probably exercise more discretion. That said, the question isn't any less objectional to me even if the interrogator is male. If I ever got asked either of these I'd be tempted to ask him what the relevance is. Not sure how well that would go over though.

wow OMG would they ask a FEMALE a question like this? Seems they could come up with some other type of shock question.

What if a polygraph examiner is male, around 50 and he asks a female examinee, this type of question? Is this not sexual harassment? I know something about sexual harassment and I as a female would, be very offended and want to take it to an authority after the interrogation was over....but I hold back and I'd have to 'try NOT to laugh' at that question and answer, of course I have, many times and it's not as easy to do driving, as a male. Which leads me to make a new post. I have some questions that hopefully someone can answer.

AngryJerry,

In the context of a pre-employment polygraph examination, these would be examples of "shock control" questions (even though admissions in response to them might well lead to disqualification).

Not to offend anyone's sensibilities but the following is a actual poly question someone was asked.

"Have you ever masturbated while driving?"

Now how could this be a relevant question? Is this something that has proven to be a problem and they need to ask during screening?

But how could it be a control question either? Surely no one can assume that enough people have masturbated while driving to use this as a control question.

Another one was "Have you ever had sex with a dead person?"

I kid you not I read that someone was asked this and the source was credible enough that it is for real. What's up with these questions?
