Wonder_woman,

Although I certainly can't speak to whether or not George actually banned Paleryder from this site... I feel relatively certain that if Paleryder really had a desire to continue posting and debating polygraph testing and countermeasures, all he would have had to do is create a new user ID. That is of course, unless George blocked his IP address.

I would suspect that many members of this forum have re-established their persona under a new board identity.

palerider? brilliant intellectual? Now that's an oxymoron if I ever heard one. My impression of palerider was something like this:

"Oohh, look at me, I have 3 hours to get to the truth with evil psychos that want to drink your kid's piss. What if there was a child molester in your community? George protects child molesters! I have to sleep for an interview with a child molester tomorrow. You're all welcome you ungrateful morons!"

Aggressive, self-praising, fear mongering, dismissive, & arrogant was more like it. 

For the record, palerider stole his jokes from B movies; quick wit wasn't his strongsuit.

Actually, palerider chose to disregard multiple admonishments (made through private messages) to respect AntiPolygraph.org's posting policy and keep it civil. The proximate cause of his being banned was his posting of disinformation in the message thread In plain english how are countermeasures.....

I've got a series of questions that are asked during the polygraph, a sample test if you will, so could someone help me to figure out which ones are irrelevant,relevant and control.

If offered this job would you take it?
Have you ever before been required to take a polygraph?
Have you placed any false information on your application?

Have you ever recieved a verbal or written reprimand?
Within the past year how many unauthorized das of work have you missed?
Have you ever registered for the selective services?
Do you think that you are rehireable for work for all of your past employers?
Would you have any concern about an investigation into your arrest record?
Have you ever been present when anyone else has commited a crime?
Have you ever knowingly transported someone who was carrying illegal drugs?
Since you were 18 years old have you ever thought about commiting some type of sexual crime?
Have you ever collected unemployment benefits or welfare inwhich you were not legally entitled to?
Have you ever commited any type of sexual crime?
Have you ever had any sexual contact with animals?
Other than an employer have you ever stolen anything?

If employed with this department would you arrest a friend who was committing a crime?
Could you manage your financial affairs with the salary of this job alone?
Have you ever been late in paying rent?
Would you have any reason to be concerned involving an investigation into your honesty?
Do you gamble?
Since being a licensed driver have you ever drove without insurance required by law?(I'm really concerned about this one)
Have you ever driven under the influence of any type of drug or alcohol?
Have you ever hit or injured any person?
Are you afraid of firearms?
have you ever fired a firearm?
Have you ever done anything that you were ashamed of?
Have you answered each of these questions honestly?
Have you ever hit someone you were living with?


If someone could either put an IR,R or C by each of the questions that would be  much appreciated favor. Not only would it help me out but it would help out other people on here, by getting them prepared to take their polygraph.

Yeah but the source I got these from who was a former polygrapher says that these re typical questions asked on the polygraph.
Actually this would be much less stressful for me if I knew what type of test it is I will be taking. I talked to a cop who works for the department for which I am applying and he said that the test is only about 30 minutes long! Is that typical for a control and relevant test? Or is that more typical of the irrelevant & relevant test?

is that better for me then?

How can I tell the difference between control and relevant?
