Title: Some questions regarding CMs
Post by: P-J on Aug 21, 2003, 01:46 PM
Hello !

I enjoyed reading the e-book and I have some questions I hope
you can answer.

First, what basically I understood is that polygraphers uses control questions as a base line. For any relevant question he/she ask you he looks on your responses to the control questions and decide wether you did or did not speak the truth.

On the CM section I read that before or after any *control* question I need to change my breathing pattern for few seconds and my heart beats until the next question begins.

This means that if I lie anytime when I'm being asked a relevant question the "body responses" for the lie would look normal (based on the control question's answers behaviour) ?

What about when I tell the truth ? the polygrapher - I assume - will expect the same behavior throughout the whole test. Or did you expect me to lie to *all* of the releavent questions ?

Thanks in advance,
P-J!

Hell, why don't you just lie about who you are when you walk in the door.  Sounds like you're going to have alot to think about during this test.  May I suggest telling the truth!  If you know there are questions (relevant) you'll be lying about, why not seek employment elsewhere?   :o

I agree with Saidme. No one here is really advocating lying outright, or lying about something serious.

I am not going to  have a polygraph test anytime soon, neither I think I would. I just find this subject pretty interesting and want to know about it more. It would also help me to know how polygraphers work.

I hope the next replies would be a little more releavent. Thanks
