Also, 

as far as these sample questions for control questions in your book: 

1. Have you ever lied to a supervisor?
2. Have you ever lied to loved ones?
3. Have you ever lied to parents, teachers, or the police?
4. Have you ever lied to get out of trouble?
5. Did you ever reveal anything told to you in confidence?
6. Did you ever cheat in school?
7. Did you ever cheat in college?
8. Did you ever betray the trust of a friend or relative?
9. Did you ever steal anything from an employer?(Note,however,
that any question about stealing money from an employer is a
relevant, not a control question!)

If I was answering all of these honestly, my answer would probably be YES to every single one.
If I say yes on any/all of these, would they all just go into a more detailed question that leads me to giving a No answer on the subject anyways?.. 

But I don't want to say yes to everyone right? Because I want to create a NO with CM reading for some of them... does it matter which ones/how many i say yes or no to?
OR as long as I am giving a CM with my answer, is me saying yes or no irrevalant? 


Sorry for repeating the same thing twice, I just don't want to sound unclear so you don't understand what I mean.. Thanks in advance I appreciate it. 

Also if anyone else has any legit input that has passed a lie detector and used CMs I would appreciate that too.

One should produce a reaction to each control question that one clearly recognizes as such. Whether you answer the question yes or no is irrelevant.

Quote:


If you answer that question "yes" during the pre-test, the polygrapher will move to exclude your admission from the scope of the control question, rephrasing it as: "Other than what you told me, did you ever cheat in school?"

Quote:


Again, the polygraph operator will rephrase control questions to exclude any admissions that you make.

See my replies to "hardcopy" in the message thread, "LIE or not to lie."

Also George, by chance would you happen to have a link on what specific control/relevant questions are typically asked for a US Customs Officer ploy exam?

I feel I have a pretty clear understanding on everything now from your book but just want to make sure if possible so I don't accidentally confuse a control with a relevant for some reason.

Thanks George, that link has been helping me prepare.. 

Also, 

1. Will the pattern during the actual poly test always be : 1st question irrevalant to lead off, 2nd question sacrifice relevant... then control question, relevant question, control question, relevant question, etc. Until another irrevalant comes up?
What I mean it will it always follow a pattern of control, relevant, control, relevant... or could it possibly be control, control, relevant, control or something like control, relevant, relevant, control, releveant.. ?

2. 

and as far as countermeasures, if I plan on doing tongue biting, as well as mixing up a change of breathing rate, do I do both at the same time, or bite my tongue for 5 or so seconds, then alter breathing patterns for 5-10 seconds, then go back to tongue biting? 
Or is it more beneficial to try and bite down the whole time and alter breathing at the same time?

THANK YOU.
