I have gone through the 162 question exam that the rcmp gives and have tried to identify all of the control questions. Can some people take a look at some of these and tell me if you agree that these are control questions? How can I be 100% sure that a question is actually a control question...I would hate to increase my heart rate to a question they think is relevant.  Also, in the pre-exam we will discuss all of these questions, is there any way to predict which questions I will be "hooked up" for? Thanks!

Here are the questions I think are control questions:

Do you know of any reason why you should not
be hired as a police officer?

Have you ever lied to a supervisor on a job
related matter?

Have you ever cheated on any form of
examination or plagiarized another person's
work (includes both education and/or
employment)?

Have you ever been intoxicated?

Have you ever driven when you knew you had
too much to drink?

Have you ever operated any motorized vehicle
or vessel while under the influence of alcohol?

What is the worst thing you have ever done as a
result of drinking alcohol?

Have you ever purchased any illegal drugs?

Have you ever been in a place where
illegal/illicit drugs were being used?

Have you ever misused any pharmaceutical
(prescription) drugs?

Are you withholding any information concerning
your involvement with illegal/illicit drugs?

Are you withholding any information concerning
your involvement with pharmaceutical
(prescription) drugs?

Have you ever been verbally abusive
(intimidation, bullying etc.)?

Have you ever been involved in a physical
altercation of any kind?

What is the worst thing anyone is going to say
you have done to them?

Have you ever illegally obtained, sold or given
away software?

Have you ever committed an illegal sexual act?

Have you ever accessed, received or sent, child
pornography on the Internet? (The accessed part many people have by accident)

Have you ever done anything for which you
could have been arrested?

Have you ever shoplifted?

Have you ever stolen anything, including
money?

Have you ever stolen anything, or any money,
from a previous or present employer?

Have you ever damaged anyone else's
property?

What is the most serious undetected crime you
have ever been involved in?


Thanks again
Chris

Understood. These are questions from the actual test.  They ask all 162 questions in the pre-test, and then select from these to actually give the polygraph with. The reason I ask specifically about these questions is because some of these will actually be the questions I am asked. Thanks.

Having sex in a semi-public place with a girlfriend and outdoor private nudity makes me a sexual deviant? I would love to be a fly on your wall.

I am a bit a of a exibitionist/voyeur at times....just minor..
but because of the "weirdness" of it I don't want to disclose it.

Sarge, last time I checked Voyeurism and Exhibition were illegal.  Do you ever read the entire post before jumping on my leg?

Sir, I would not think that the above behaviours are anything but normal amongst well adjusted humans. If there is one amongst us whom has never copulated outdoors, he/she has my sincerest sympathy.

Respectfully,
