How Do I Answer Control ?

[conner52]

I am having a hard time understanding the concept of making reactions to controlled questions. When asked a controlled question do you tell the truth then do a countermeasure? or do you lie and do a countermeasure?(ex. Have you ever stole anything from work? Answer: Yes now do a countermeasure)or (Have you ever stole anything from work? Answer: No then do counter measure.

First, there is no such thing as a "controlled" question. You may benefit from reading Chapter 3 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector which explains "control" questions at length.

When answering "control" questions, one should provide the expected answer. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not.
