Ok just took my 6th maintenance poly. Didnt read the lie until late. Used cm during what I think are the cq. Have you lied to the powers that be have been some where youre not to be any deviant sex thoughts. The only others were have you looked at porn x2 and R u sitting down. Everyone has been brow beating about admitting to looking at porn. Not any of the cq taht were asked. What are your thoughts? I feel I nailed it. I looked professional and was in a good mood.

What makes you think I was lying? My previous test were inconclusive. I spoke the truth every time. I was tired of not passing.

No only thing he said was nothing was screaming at him. Hope that means nothing bad was screaming. There was the usual did you have any problems any questions and I said no. I was joking with him and he was smiling. I was wondering did I read the cq questions right. Is have you lied since beginning treatment to the powers a control question? And the other two any deviant sex thoughts and out of place are def control. But the lying to powers isnt good either. The cq are messed cuz you dont want them to think youre doing those things. But they are broad and vague so that makes me think they are the cq.

I would have to see the exact wording of the questions, but can offer the following based on what you reported: 

Have you lied to [the] powers to be? - Control Question (possible Sacrifice Relevant depending on its position, but probably not)

Are you sitting down? - Irrelevant Question

Have you gone anywhere you weren't supposed to? - Relevant Question, (assuming such restrictions were clearly delineated to you by the treatment provider).

Other than what you told me have you looked at porn? - Relevant Question

Have you had any [unreported?] deviant sex[ual] thoughts? Relevant Question

Other than what you told me have you have you viewed any nudity? - Relevant Question

Me 2,

Lying to the "powers to be" is a Control Question. Example: If someone in "power" asked you how their dress/hair/clothes looked and you said "just fine" to be nice, when in actuality they looked horrible, then it would be a "lie." It's too open ended and would encompass anything that was not TOTALLY the truth.

The relevant questions should be precise, requiring no deliberation: looking at porn, viewing nudity, un-reported deviant thoughts--you either did or didn't.

However, I think that had you "failed" the polygraph, you would have been confronted with a post test interrogation.

Try to provide the entire question set with the exact wording.

I'm over thinking this. They have been on my back for the porn not the other questions. The others have to be control otherwise what would they score against. Im dropping it and Ill wait and see. Ive had so many no decisions Im eager to get past this. Thanx for the help though.

Too bad the examiner didn't ask about access to the internet.  Now there is a question I never miss.   

You do know you are in violation of your probation/parole conditions by not only being on the internet, but posting here is a huge violation?
