At the past APA conference, a seminar was given on the CIT, also known as the Guilty Knowledge Test. I have been working with and using this test since earlier this year. How many examiners would be interested in more information on this testing format?IP: Logged |

I am certainly interested in learning about anything that will make me more proficient in my craft. I have studied and read about the GKT, but I have not used it to this point.IP: Logged |

It is a good technique but like the peak of tension a little difficult to get enough good information to use it. I am still waiting for the right opportunity but it hasn't come along yet.Jack ------------------

J.B.,I think the concealed information technique is underrated and would be interested in any insights you can offer. IP: Logged |

I have received e-mails from examiners interested in this procedure at my old posted e-mail address, as well as on this board. Although the e-mail is still functional, I seldom use this e-mail and am unable to forward documentation through it. I have constructed a manual on the GKT/CIT. Anyone interested in receiving a copy for his or her personal education, please e-mail me at my current provided e-mail address and I will forward a copy.IP: Logged |

I am a Police Examiner and have been conducting quite a few Concealed Information Tests after receiving the training from DodPI. I have found that I can be creative and get the necessary "keys" with which to conduct the tests if I talk with the investigators and first responders. I also have conducted in-service training for detectives so they look for additional facts for the CIT tests. Everyone has cooperated and it's been working very well. An additional bonus of the CIT is that it makes obtaining confessions much easier from the deceptive subjects!Chip Morgan ------------------

I use the scoring method as taught by DodPi...which is, if they kit on the key, then it's scores 2, if they hit on the key as the second highest reaction, then it gets a 1. The cut-offs are the number of CIT's administered. Works great! IP: Logged |

Chip,How many exams have you run and what is the min. number of keys you run a CIT? I use the Lykken 2pt and Mean Rank scoring system. I have conducted over 25 thus far. I would be interested in sharing chart info with you, if possible. If you are able and interested, just e-mail me at my listed e-mail. IP: Logged |

JB;Sorry I took so long to get back with you on this topic. I've run about 50 CIT's so far, it's working real well...my procedure is that I use the CIT to eliminate the people with no knowledge. For the rest, I then go to a traditional single-issue test and resolve it. So far, everyone that "hit" on the key questions has been deceptive on the subsequent poly exam. Chip ------------------
