I use lie comparisons in PCSOT sex tests whenever possible, but I "strengthen" them by using the kind of lie qustions that no PCSOT people like to admit ("Have you been lying to your probation officer" or "do you ever lie in treatment" or "Are you the type of person who would lie to the parole board?"...these work well.

For polys on new sex offense allegations, I use a mixture of lie and sex controls.

I just use some kind of bar when separates the relevant issue from the comparisons (adult vs. juvenile behavior or time frame bars).

I dropped symptomatic questions after talking with the folks at DoDPI.
