That's quite a lot of questions.  Until someone more knowledgeble answers up, it is my understanding that all these questions will not be asked on the actual exam, only a smattering.  How they choose what questions to ask, I have no idea.  In the actual exam, they will ask some other control questions.

I found it interesting that it apparently is okay to have sex with 14 year old childred in Canada.
"Although the degree of reliability of polygraph evidence may depend upon a variety of identifiable factors, there is simply no way to know in a particular case whether a polygraph examiner's Conclusion is accurate, because certain doubts and uncertainties plague even the best polygraph exams."  (Justice Clarence Thomas writing in United States v. Scheffer, 523 U.S. 303, 118 S.Ct. 1261, 140 L.Ed.2d 413, 1998.)

According to the instructions those questions are a "Pre-employment Polygraph Suitability, Reliability and Security Interview Applicant Questionnaire", not the actual polygraph format.  The control questions come during the test.  (If you get past this questionnaire. ;))
