Title: Control and irrelevant questions
Post by: chimmychong on Jun 29, 2013, 09:46 PM
IF doing a CQT would a polygraph examiner add irrelevant questions to the mix?

chimmychong,
The answer to your question is on page 106 of TLBTLD. Please give the document closer scrutiny.

My apologies Ark, I was at work when I made this post and when I got home later I found my answer while rereading TBTLD. One question for you though, if one is unsure whether a question is either irrelevant or control, how should one proceed? Should they treat it as a control and initiate CM's or just treat it as irrelevant?

There should not be doubt about an irrelevant question as they are usually very clear: Are you sitting down? Do you drink water? etc.  If there is doubt, then it's probably not an irrelevant question.
