Title: What kind of questions are these?
Post by: treetop on Oct 27, 2003, 03:43 AM

1. Have you ever lied to the police?
2. What is 35+65?
3. Is there anything in your background that you are afraid we will find out?
4. Do you intend to lie on this polygraph?
5. Have you ever considered hitting someone in anger?
6. Have you ever driven 30 MPH over the speed limit?
7. Have you ever lied to the police?

I am thinking..

1. control
2. ???
3. control
4. relevent
5. control
6. control
7. relevent
What do you think?

They are all "control" questions, with the possible exception of #4, which commonly serves as a "sacrifice relevant" question.

Thanks. I'm trying to get ready for this "test" coming up. I made up flash cards with different types of questions on them. I am practicing my countermeasures and re-reading TLBTLD.
