how to answer

[newportsupport]

How are you supposed to answer to "Did you lie to any of the questions on the test" or "Do you plan to tell the truth in this test"?

Answer Yes or No truthfully

newportsupport,

Hunter's reply is dead wrong. The questions, "Did you lie to any of the questions on the test?" and "Do you plan to tell the truth in this test?" are sacrifice relevant questions. The expected answer to both questions is "yes," and that is the answer one should provide.

See follow-up reply below.

So I would expect him to answer truthfully if heis going to truthful, and no if he intends to lie.  Where did I make an iincorrect statemetnt?  You relish in deceipt George, maybe that is why you have never passed a polygraph!!!!

Hunter,

I apologize to you. I was mistaken. While both of the questions cited by newportsupport are indeed sacrifice relevant questions, the appropriate answer to the first one ("Did you lie to any of the questions on the test?") is "no," while the proper answer to the second one ("Do you plan to tell the truth in this test?") is "yes." It doesn't matter whether or not these answers are truthful -- they are the expected answers.
