I am also curious.  I dont believe there is any information on exactly how to answer those questions.  It only states what the examiner EXPECTS you to answer, not what you should answer.

Thanks again!

Nicks, be aware that the polygraph is a test designed to be used on ignorant subjects.  If you know how the test really works, you are no longer ignorant and all bets are off as to how accurate the exam will be on you.  Of course, if you're posting here, it's probably already too late for you.  Too bad for you.

Nicks ,
Though I don't suggest lying to get a job, Sackett's suggestion that simply telling the truth will assure you a pass result is a LIE and he knows it.
I told the truth on mine and FAILED as did "Sargeant"(and many others) a poster on here to the tune of 4 truthfull polygraphs and 3 fails! You can read his posts for more info. 

Just curious "nicks", what makes you feel you need to employ      countermeasures to pass your test?

Also, what makes you feel confident enough to use them?

Why not just be honest?

Sackett

Please see Chapter 4 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector for a detailed explanation of polygraph countermeasures, including on what questions they should be applied:

So are You supposed to have a HIGH response on the machine for all non relevant questions or just the ones that may be lies? for example

if they ask   " becides what weve discused have you ever stole?" I may say yes (speaking the truth) because im sure ive stolen "time" from employers or stole a pen or somthing small i cant think of. SO even though im telling the truth do i still creat a response with the countermeasures?

I mean a question like " is the ski blue" do I do a countermeasure?

Basically do i do a counter measure on TRUE non relavent questions
