I'm pretty sure by doing that you'd generate a textbook 'deceptive' chart.

Of course.  My point is, you'd be generating a "deceptive" chart while saying you're guilty of some relevant thing, e.g. committing a felony.  If you are claiming that you've committed a felony, yet your chart is deceptive, it would seem an interesting situation.

Of course, it's likely that the polygrapher would then interrogate you based upon the deceptive chart alone, or assume you're using countermeasures, or that you have some sort of psychological problem.

I'm not saying it would be a good way to pass a polygraph.  Only that it would be...interesting.

You know, I'm sure someone has noted this before, but I'm curious.  What do you suppose would happen during a CQT if one were to ignore the control questions (no countermeasures) and, while augmenting one's response using countermeasures during the relevant questions, answered "yes"?

I would guess the polygrapher would simply ignore the chart at that point and do a post-test interrogation anyway due to the weirdness of the situation, but it would be interesting to know for sure what kind of procedures exist.
