If you could please point out the type of each queston i would appreciate it - these are not in order i was asked - 1.are we currently in the state of xxxx? 2.are you completely trustworthy? 3.are you the type of person that would betray your family? 4.are you withholding any information about your involvement with illegal drugs? 5.have you ever cheated in school? 6.are you intentionally lying or withholding any information about your application? 7.are you going to lie to me? any help would be appreciated

	I don't think #3 is a particular good control question (to the extent that there is such a thing -- none of this has any scientific basis to begin with). However, it is very clearly a control question. A sacrfice relevant question is one that isn't scored. It's often the first relevant question in a polygraph question series. It's expected that it might cause a reaction just because it's the first relevant question. Typically, the sacrifice relevant question is about the subject's intent to answer all questions truthfully. Another reason for not scoring this question is that it's secretly expected that the subject's answers to the control questions won't be completely truthful.

	so to employ countermeasures during question #3 would be advisable? it just seems kinda wierd cause i know i would never intentionally betray my family..thank you for the advise..I have to retake the exact same test in a few weeks -also they had the butt monitoring pad on the chair so ill have to use another way of cm.

	Yes, it's important that you react more strongly to question #3 than to the adjacent relevant question(s).

	Quote: Have you ever lied to make yourself look better? That was a control question, and remained so even after your polygrapher moved to exclude your admission from its scope.
