Marty-

My belief is that I probably would have reacted to the 'control' questions in approximately the same way but perhaps less intensely had I not 'experimented' with CM's on them. But as previously stated, I have no knowledge that the 'control' questions that I 'experimented' on vs. the 'control' questions I did not 'experiment' on were in any way different since I did not see the chart(s) afterward. As to the question review, I did in fact relate to the examiner my discomfort with some of the general 'control' questions, as they raised doubts in my mind whether I could recall any significant events pertaining to those questions. As to the relevance of the 'control' questions in my case, they were generally what I expected and what was described in TLBTLD. As far as 'well selected', only a trained polygrapher could answer that, but I suspect that yes, they were well selected. Pardon me for saying so, but your questions sound suspiciously like a polygraph examiner looking for corroboration that the polygraph functions exceptionally well as a pre-screening tool. No offense intended.
