In response to a question about this post:

Below is a possible example of how to fail a polygraph. (Truth or Fiction - you decide).

If the polygraph gives you the control question, "Have you ever done anything SO BAD in your life, that you would now lie about to keep someone from finding out?"   
If you were completely honest, you would have to answer yes. 
The polygrapher would then ask what it was you did.   
You most likely didn’t have anything specific in mind and would struggle to think of something non-incriminating or character debauching with which to answer.   
No matter what you say, he’s going to go back to the same question, “Have you… out?”
You, still being honest answer yes.
When pressed, you admit that you have nothing specific in mind, but admit that you would probably lie because it is the natural thing to do and you are trying to answer him honestly.
To which you would hear, "Oh, oh... that's no good.  This is a ‘character question’ and lying is not a demonstration of good moral characteristic or a very mature response.  Couldn’t you just refuse to answer such a question?  Wouldn’t that be more mature than lying?
You suppose; yes, I guess it would be.  Now, you’re posed with the same question again, “Have you… out” 
You answer; “No” and in your head continue “I could just refuse to answer.”   
Good, now you feel justified in your answer – even though you know that deep down inside, you’d still just lie to somebody that asked about ________ or embarrassing topic. 
(Lather, Rinse, and Repeat for the other CQs)

Now, if you are a person that is very good at convincing yourself of your own justifications (i.e. This guy is right. I will never lie again, I will just refuse to answer the question because that is the moral and mature response), then you have completely screwed yourself on the polygraph.   
Now, what was supposed to be a lie to the polygrapher, you now believe and think that it is appropriate to answer this way.  Your extreme honesty will cause you to fail.  Whatever your method, the more you are able to justify to yourself your lie to the CQs, the more likely you are to fail the polygraph.

To avoid confusion to my last phrase /.. best they can think of is.. "goverment's , law offcials,///.. they do not know how to use thier own witt's on a subject rather they depend on a polygraph.

Do you think when someone passes the polygraph show to the public that this person is innocent ... NO!
Vice Versa
when one fails.. you are looked down upon wheter your innocent or not!!!
polygraphs sometimes dont save peopleee they doo more hurtt .

Ok I have read the book a couple times already and I am not sure if I understand it completly. I am having problems understanding the CQ's and RQ's.  I am just asking if someone can give me some expamples of these questions. Also if someone can maybe break down the steps to deply counter measures when a CQ comes up. I read about biting the tounge and anal contractions, as well as mental thoughts, and breathing however I am not sure how to use these or when exactly to use them. To me its just a little confusing and I dont want to mess up the polygraph I have to take this up comming week. If someone can break it down to a counter measures for dummies it would help so I can fully understand what is doing on. 
From what I understand is that when someone is asked a CQ's your objective is to make the chart raise as much as possable then when your asked RQ's and you have to lie the chart wont raise that high. So when your asked a CQ you need to bite your tounge and use sphinctor tension when you answer these quesitons so when and why do you have to use breathing to help raise the chart as well? 
Next if I understand correctly CQ's are used to make you lie right? 
Well these are just some questions I have hopefully someone can help me out before my test. Thanks for your help

The polygrapher will coerce you to answer No to these questions.  If you answer yes, he will press you for specifics and then rephrase his question to "other than the things you told me..." until you are "comfortable" answering "No."
You can head off this line of questioning and save yourself some time simply by stating, "well, not about anything serious."  The polygrapher will use the response to CQs to determine your truthfulness regarding the RQs. 
If the response to the CQ > RQ = Pass
If the response to the CQ < RQ = Fail
If the response to the CQ = RQ = Inconclusive

Therefore, you want to artificially elevate your response to the CQs by employing CMs

Excerpts from a question to me:
 
>>Now when i took my poly the first thing i did was lie about a number that wrote on paper when we asked if i wrote that number... I did and used breathing blocking and tounge biting method...<<

You don't CM such a question.  That's an irrelevant question, and they don't want or need to see huge spikes on those.  The polyboy will just think you're screwing around with him.
 
Now the major part of the poly which was right after this was unlike anything that iv read online and the book published on here.. He asked 10 questions 4 different times... There were no control or irrelevant question that i could tell.. All the questions were.   
 
>>"Are you now telling the truth about all the theft questions"   
Are you now telling the truth about  all the drug questions 
Are you now telling the truth about  all the criminal questions 
Are you now telling the truth about all the alcohol questions<<

This is a pure-relevant test (for lack of a better name), and it is a rare bird.  Polyboys and their handlers don't use it much; they don't like it, as they feel that they need some form of "comparison" to determine if a response trace is true or false.  Never mind they can't divine the truth, anyhow.

The irrelevant question about the number you wrote was not used for comparison.  Even the poly industry has conceded that irrelevants don't raise emotional/BFB levels or have the same psychological gravity as relevants, or even controls.
 
>>how should i have or could i have used cms more  Was the number lieing question the only control question that he compared my answers to?<<

You should never try to raise a response to an RQ.  Sometimes on straight R/I tests, there -may- be something to producing a slightly different tracing one out of the three times you're asked a question. However, on most R/I's (99%) and this pure RQ test...

You don't want to do mental CMs.  Use behavioral ones... relaxed, at peace in your own mind, positive body language, not ingratiating or defensive.  Since polygraphy is an art under the guise of science, influencing the artist can get you a more desirable portrait.  He might get a feeling that you're a legit person, which could affect his judgment of his lines and blips...

Again, do not mentally CM on this type of test, and never mentally CM relevants or irrelevants (like # questions).  You only CM control questions, the "have you ever lied to your mother" types...

You're right, George Thanks.  That's what I get for writing while sleepy |-)

Yes, to those who read this: the number deal, where polyboy writes 1-9 on a piece of paper and has you "lie" about the one you picked, is part of the stim test.  This is a trick the polyboy plays to assure you that you can respond to a lie.  No matter how your trace comes out to the directed misrepresentation (which it really is), he'll very likely tell you that you peaked highly, that you can't tell a lie without your body betraying you.  This is a big screwjob, nothing more, and is part of his bag of tricks.

I agree with George that you might wish to augment your reaction to the number (or card trick, or whatever) stim.  Doing so will produce a larger spike, which the polyman may well take as a good lie tracing.  If so, then your other responses (lie or truth) will have less amplitude and thus will appear less damning.

I would say that if a variation of the question, as "Did you pick 3 earlier?", (assuming you did), were presented again in the meat of the in-test, -that- would be an irrelevant (on a CQT)...

Nice catch of my slip, George...

Onesimus, as i said in my post of having the test administered. The STIM test was never givin; so this could be in result cause i have told him i was givin a polygraph test before.  The actual polygraph test was givin to me THREE times in random order. About ten questions.
Same control questions was givin in a different order as well; i just dont remember if it was givin after the same question,.
