Title: Countermeasures -- Use on only ONE control question? Or many?
Post by: jeffsaunders on Nov 16, 2007, 05:22 PM
In the best case scenario, should countermeasures be used on only one control question or on many control questions?

If the examinee picks only one control, and concentrates on that one question (using appropriate CMs), is that sufficient? Is it safer to use CMs on 2 or 3 or more?

Also, I saw on YouTube how they guy from Skeptic magazine interviewed Doug Williams (not sure if I got the name right), the sting the poly guy. Anyway the Skeptic guy was apparently advised to use a CM on the control question immediately AFTER the relevant question. Does that make sense?

I would imagine, if that method were used, you'd be reacting to different Control Questions throughout the test.

Thanks for your help.

The Lie Behind the Lie Detector is published information, and is available for anyone to download and read.  

Aside from that, though, I doubt if you will get people here to advise you on how to beat a poly which references sexual deviancy.  At least I wouldn't, (assuming I could, which I can't).
