QUESTIONS
SUPPLEMENTARY
QUESTIONS
• Peak of Tension Test (PTT)
• Guilt Complex Test (GCT)
• Symptomatic Question
• S.K.Y Questions
• Silent Answers Test (SAT)
• Zone Comparison Test
1) PEAK OF TENSION TEST
The subject may be(PTT)
given this test if he is not yet
informed of the details of the offense for which he is
being interrogated by the investigation, or by other
persons or from other sources like the print media.
This valid test is only made when there is no
widespread publicity about a crime where intimate
details as to the methods of commission or certain
facts of the case is known from the victim and
investigator.
1) PEAK OF TENSION TEST
(PTT)
The questions formulated are similar in nature and
construction, only one of which is true and the
perpetrator who would naturally be in possession of
such unpublicized knowledge will usually exhibit a
rise in the tracing up to that particular question
followed by a decline thereafter, caused by the relief
of knowing that a dreaded question dangerous to his
well-being, is past.
EXAMPLE
Examples of Peak-of-Tension Test
a. Do you know whether the stolen watch from Rommel is a Rolex?
(This is an introductory phrase plus padding question)
b. Is it an Omega (Padding)
c. is it a Seiko? (Padding)
d. Is it Timex? [Relevant question)
e. Is it Alba quartz? (Padding)
f. Is it a Citizen? (Padding)
2) GUILT COMPLEX TEST
(GCT)
This test is applied when the response to
relevant and control questions are similar in
degree and in consistency and in a way that the
examiner cannot determine whether the subject
is telling the truth or not.
2) GUILT COMPLEX TEST
(GCT)
The subject is asked questions aside from the
irrelevant, relevant and control questions, a new
series of relevant questions dealing with a real
incident and that which the subject could not have
committed.
If the subject does not respond to the added
relevant questions, it indicates that the subject was
being deceptive as to the primary issue under
investigation.
2) GUILT COMPLEX TEST
(GCT)
However, no conclusion can be drawn if the
response to added guilt complex is similar to the
real issue questions.
EXAMPLE

• Did you steal that Ferrari toy collection?

*On this case the stealing of Ferrari toy collection was not actually
committed because the alleged crime investigated was the loss of the
iPod*
3) SYMPTOMATIC
QUESTION
Its function is to detect and evaluate the
presence of outside issues which may suppress
response to relevant questions. This is often true
that the subject is fear that they might asked
about another cases in which they are involved
but the subject matter under investigation.
EXAMPLE
• Are you completely convinced that I will not ask any
question on this test that has not already been reviewed?

• Is there something else you are afraid I will ask you a


question about?
4) S.K.Y QUESTIONS
“S” stands for SUSPECT
“K” stands for KNOWLEDGE
“Y” stands for “YOU” as the subject

These three questions are based on the


Backster Technique grouped together to confirm
the previous charts and may detect indirect
involvement on guilty knowledge.
EXAMPLE

• (S) Do you suspect anyone in particular of stealing


Nick’s iPod?
• (K) Do you know for sure who stole Nick’s iPod?

• (Y) Did you steal Nick’s iPod?


5) SILENT ANSWER TEST
(SAT)
This test is conducted in the same manner when
relevant and control questions are asked but the
subject is instructed to answer the questions
silently, to himself, without making any verbal
response causes distortion in the tracing such as
sniff or clearing throat.
6) ZONE COMPARISON TEST
(ZCT)
ZONE – a twenty to thirty five seconds block of
polygraph chart time initiated by a question
having a unique psychological focusing appeal to
a predictable group of examinees.
FIVE (5) VARIATIONS
OF ZONE
COMPARISON TEST
(ZCT)
A) MATTE QUADRI-TRACK ZONE
COMPARISON TECHNIQUE

- is a polygraph technique used exclusively for


single-issue tests. It was developed by Matte after two
years of research and experimentation with fictitious
crime test used in conjunction with actual test in real-
life situations.
A) MATTE QUADRI-TRACK ZONE
COMPARISON TECHNIQUE

- This test also employs the Backster ’s basic test


structure and quantification system with some
refinements and addition of another spot consisting of
a control/relevant question pair to deal with
examinees “fear of error” and the guilty examinees
“hope of error”
B) BACKSTER TRI-ZONE COMPARISON
TECHNIQUE
- permits the use of inside track “fear of error” control
question and the “hope of error”. When the Backster zone
comparison technique does not incorporate the fear/ hope
of error questions the only difference remaining in the
test structure between numbers one and two techniques is
the position of symptomatic questions which are opposite.
B) BACKSTER TRI-ZONE COMPARISON
TECHNIQUE
The color coding according to Backster are:

• Green zone - for the Control questions


• Red zone - for the Relevant questions
• Black zone – for the symptomatic questions
C) THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
POLYGRAPH INSTITUTE (DODPI) BI-SPOT
ZONE COMPARISON TECHNIQUE
- The first zone contains the relevant quest
concerning, Primary, Secondary and S-K-Y (Suspicion
Knowledge You questions.

-The second zone, is used when there is only one


question or issue that must be addressed in the
examination.
D) INTEGRATED ZONE COMPARISON
TECHNIQUE

– developed in 1987 by Nathan J, Gordon, Wiliam M.


Waid and Philip M. Cocheti.

-This technique has the most significant departure from


the original zone comparison technique developed by
Cleve Backster.
E) THE UTAN ZONE COMPARISON
TECHNIQUE
-The structure of this technique is basically the same
for single issue test as it is for multiple issue tests.
However instead of using relevant question that
embraces several facts of a crime or matter under
investigation, the single-issue test uses relevant
question that addressed a single issue only.
