It appears that if a test subject feels discomfort on the comparison questions it indicates deception.  However, if he feels discomfort on the “real” questions that also indicates deception.  You seem to be making mutually exclusive statements.  But perhaps I’m just missing something.


Sorry Sergeant, but you did miss it this time.  Albeit a subtle difference, please allow me to clarify for you.

If the test subject feels discomfort on the comparison questions – it indicates deception.

If the test subject does NOT feel discomfort on the comparison questions – it "would have been shown to be MORE CLEARLY deceptive".

See the difference?  Glad I could clear that up for you. ;D

If you fail, you’re lying.
If you are inconclusive, you’re lying.
If you pass, somehow you got away with lying.

Hello boys. You both missed something. You both made the same assumption - i.e that the
husband in question has in fact 'played' with his penis and then lied to the examiner about the
'game'.

What is "playing with your penis?" The question is BS.
The xaminer assumes that the subject will equate 'playing' with masturbating, which he may not do.
Then, what if he has Never 'played' with his penis.....? what then. ? Huh?
The question is embarassing and will produce a reasonable reaction because it is an inference that
the subject does 'play with himself' and is therefore a sicko.

Making assumptions in order to construct a CQ of the same 'weight' as the RQ is a dangerous game.
Worse than 'playing' with your pecker.

Why not construct Lie controls...? much safer.

PS: Which scoring p/g scoring software produces shades of red as described???
and, It seems that the examiner had no confidence in his ability to score his charts manually.
Scoring software is bigger BS than the p/g itself.

...mmmm wonder if that wasn't maybe a Truster Pro or magic lamp....... :-?
