J.B., you mentioned this in your post on the Bizone topic, but I was curious what you mean by a Countermeasure exam?------------------

Ralph, sorry for the delay in responding to your question. The Yes test is the last test in the series after the collection of R.I. exams. You instruct the examinee to lie to all of the questions. It is labeled the Yes test because for the most part the examinee will answer “Yes” to the relevant questions. There are several different approaches to administering the Yes test. Inasmuch as it is conducted after the collection of R.I. exam data, its utilization has no effect on the previously collected exams, although its use might cause one to deviate from a standardized scoring method based on the additional information received. There are some articles on this test but for the most part it has not been widely publicized nor discussed, for obvious reasons.

It is not only used in R/I tests: it is used in PLC tests too. In those, you strip out the CQs during the last chart, and have the guy answer, "Yes," which of course, should be a lie. Then you wait and see if he takes the bait.I think it is an old Marcy technique (trick?), and it is in one of his books. When Don Krapohl explained the test at a seminar, one of the local guys said he had the book it came from. Asking to borrow it is on my to-do list. If I do it any time soon, I'll let you know the details, but you probably get the point. IP: Logged |

For information regarding the Yes Test, see Truth & Deception by Reid & Inbau, 2nd Ed., 1977. The examples therein refer to situations when a subject is distorting comparison questions, therefore, they are (in most cases) dropped from the subsequent "Yes Test."IP: Logged |

Sorry for the confusion on the abbreviation I used for Relevant Issue (R.I.). One of the yes tests, as Barry points out, does drop the comparisons and one does not.IP: Logged |
