That you even asked the question that you did suggests to me that you haven't understood the material covered in Chapters 3 & 4 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector. Under the circumstances, it might be wiser not to use countermeasures at all (and ideally, not to take the polygraph).

Thanks for the fast reply So, should I just stick to the "normal" plan, using countermeasures only for the control questions ? Thanks again

No.

No. Augmenting reactions to relevant questions in a "control question test" will increase the likelihood of failing.

Hi there

I'm supposed to take a polygraph test during the next couple of weeks, and while I feel totally comfortable with most of the questions that I will be asked, there's one specific question that's troubling me (it doesn't really matter what question it is, just the fact that it is a "relevant").

It seems to me that in this case using countermeasures only for all the "control" questions isn't enough, am I right ? Should I use countermeasure for all the "control" questions plus the "relevant" questions (except the problematic questions) ?

I would really appreciate any help
