This question may be obvious to you guys but I have read The Lie Behind the Lie Detector and understand the importance of distinguishing between control, relevant, and irrelevant questions, yet during a control question, it is known that the polygrapher is trying to decieve the examinee here through the question asked, however, it is not really stated how we are to answer these questions, noted that I would be using countermeasures.  Are we at admission at all during the control questions?  Ex..Have you cheated in school?  Obvious control question...would the correct method of countermeasuring be saying yes while administering these procedures?  Also, what if the truthful answer to that question was no.  What would the use of countermeasures be to the polygrapher (through reading of the charts) when our answer was no.  Maybe I am just a little confused.  Thanks for the help.

Sabo,

The probable lie control question is a question the examiner  EXPECTS you to lie to thus giving the examiner a reference, as such if your physiological responce to the control question is greater or more pronounced than it is to a relevant question,(irrelevant questions are just that), then you would be considered truthful, that is barring any admissions the examiner may squeeze out of you in pre or post test interviews. So obviously you would answer no to the example you gave or the examiner would rephrase it to "other than what you've admitted to" , by answering no, the examiner would assume it to be a lie, so this is where a countermeasure would be applied if you were to choose to do so.   

This is just the way that I understand it, but I am by no means an expert, hope it helps though
