Lets say I'm talking a test where they employ the "probable lie" control questions and I admit to all of them. "Did you ever tell a lie" "Yes"; "Have you ever cheated" "Yes".
What would they do?
Also, if one was applying to an agency that values high integrity and all that...blah blah blah...
Do they see it as a character flaw for one to lie on all control questions? Should one only lie and use countermeatures on a couple of them?
You wouldn't get to that point. "Okay, tell me about all the times you lied." You tell all you can remember. "Aside from what you've told me, have you ever lied?"

And they will get increasingly testy, and suggest in strong terms that the employer doesn't want to hire people that lie at all. Essentially to intimidate you into not telling all the material lies you can remember. They secretly want you to lie on the control AND feel fear getting caught on it. Assuming they are correctly doing their job that is. See the thread started by "Bubba" for a first person account of a poorly selected control, as well as a poorly conditioned examinee. A prime example of ground truth problems.
