Title: Re: Relavent/Irrelavent Format? Post by George W. Maschke on Feb 22nd, 2002 at 11:43pm
anon1,
Of the questions you listed, only two appear to be probable-lie "control" questions: 1. Have you ever called in sick when you were not? 2. O T W [Y] T Me have you stolen property from where you have worked? With regard to the first question, most people who have called in sick would likely have some doubt regarding whether each time they were really so ill as to justify staying home from work. The second question is a very common probable-lie "control" question. Could the above two questions have been intended as relevant questions in a relevant/irrelevant "test?" Perhaps. I don't know. The question "Have you been truthful with me about these questions?" may have served as a kind of "control" question in a relevant/irrelevant "test." In the DoDPI General Question "Test," a variant of the relevant/irrelevant technique, a similar question is asked at the beginning and end as a form of "hidden control" question. Perhaps such was the case with your pre-employment polygraph interrogation. The absence of a post-test interrogation combined with your polygrapher's statement that there were "no issues left unresolved" suggests (rather strongly, I think) that you passed. |
