	Is this a control question? Have you ever lied on any previous applications or interviews?? I assume so since it is very vague and it list 2 choices and also since pretty much everyone overboasts in an interview. thoughts?

	This question seems like one that might be used as a probable-lie "control" question in a pre-employment polygraph interrogation.

	Quote: Is this a control question? Have you ever lied on any previous applications or interviews?? I assume so since it is very vague and it list 2 choices and also since pretty much everyone overboasts in an interview. Where did it appear in the series, and what questions surround it? I agree with Mr. Maschke (of course), but I am curious about my question.

This is a very relevant question for a pre-employment situation. This is a very poorly designed question regardless. Give a countermeasure response on this and your butt will certainly be shown the door.

	Pseudo Relevant, Why do you believe this question, if asked in a pre-employment polygraph series, would be relevant? It's specifically worded so as to exclude from its scope the application for employment which is the immediate reason for the polygraph examination.
