Joe Schmoe comes in for a screening exam, at the end of which although he adamantly insists he has been completely truthful, he still has unresolved issues. He is scheduled for a follow-up one or two days later.Joe is a U.S. citizen, above average intelligence, with a bachelor's degree and several years of work experience. We know fora fact he has internet access (who doesn't these days?), because he provided an e-mail address. When Joe comes in for the second time, he is asked point blank if he did any research into polygraph. He says No. Keeping in mind that Joe has a job riding on this test, what are the odds that he is telling the truth? ------------------
It's a thankless job, but somebody's gotta do it.

My guess that anyone with access to the internet is going to do some amount of research on the subject, even if he/she does not choose to use CM.
In my mind, this is a given.IP: Logged |

I suggested this some moths ago as a way to determine whether screening subjects had lied about researching countermeasures."How about a aconcealed information test or S.P.O.T. exam using the names Drew Richardson, Doug Williams, David Lykken, and George Maschke. I have not experienced a suitable situation yet and if anyone wants to give it a try I would really enjoy some feedback. ------------------
but then, that's just one man's opinion

I use a CVOS or Stim test which asks "Have you done anything to defeat the purpose of this test?". When you review this question with them, they will usually admit to "talking" with other people or surfing the anti-poly web sites. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY INTEND TO USE CMs!!!!!Ted
