Thank you very much Mr Maschke, I really appreciate the service this website provides. I am applying for a law enforcement officer position. Don't get me wrong, I have never done anything I am ashamed of or anything or the sort. The thing is that many of my friends have failed a polygraph in the past, honest and ethical people that I really doubted were capable of much wrongdoing. After so many of my friends failed, I figured I'd research it a little since I have one myself coming up. I never believed I would ever unravel something such as this. I know it's a directed lie format because a bunch of my friends are in the precinct, as well as a couple of them that have tried to get in and took the same exam. They all told me it's in the same center, with the same gentleman, with the same format. It's all been in less than a year's time, so I really hope that nothing has changed. But once again, thanks very much!

How do you know it's going to be a directed-lie CQT? This format generally includes irrelevant questions to which the examinee is not instructed to lie, which are not scored, and to which one would not want to increase physiological responses.
If you are facing a DoD or DOE counterintelligence-scope polygraph screening examination, note that virtually everyone passes these. It seems that the only way to "fail" is to make a substantive admission. See the discussion thread, How to Pass the DoD CI-Scope Polygraph.

Hey everyone. I have been reading a lot of information, thanks to this incredible site of course. I have a directed lie exam in a couple days, and I'm really worried. I have read the ebook several times, there is just one thing I don't get. In the directed lie format, should I increase my physiological responses on all the questions except the revelant since they are making me lie to all of them? Perhaps I'm missing something, but I am super confused. Are the only questions that you are instructed to lie on control questions? I'm not 100% sure on it, so clarification would be really helpful... I'm super nervous about it. Thanks!
