Control and Relevant Question List.

I am currently trying to complie a list of Control Questions and Relevant Questions to assist me in my upcoming polygraph. If you would please, give me a list of all the control questions that you have been asked, and the list all the revelant questions that you have been asked as well so i can study and remember the difference in these questions. this would really be appreciated, i am reading both the lie behind the lie detector and sting the detector. Thanks to you all for all your effort and help in this matter.

Compiling and memorizing a list of relevant and "control" questions is the wrong approach if you're contemplating using countermeasures. It is crucial that you understand the the rationale for "control" questions and then be able to pick them out when they are presented together with the relevant and irrelevant questions during the "pre-test" phase. That said, you'll find examples of some of the "control" questions most commonly used in pre-employment polygraph screening listed in Chapter 2 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector.

THANKS GEORGE I AM NOT TRYING TO REMEMBER THEM REALLY, BUT SEEING A LIST OF THEM WOULD HELP ME DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO. YOU SEE THERES STILL A COUPLE OF THEM THAT I AM UNSURE OF, AND I DEFINATELY PLAN ON USING COUNTER MEASURES. THANKS THOUGH YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM ARE ALLWAYS HELPFUL.
