Q

This Federal technique originates from and was designed by Cleve Backster and was later adopted by the Federal Government (USAMPS) in 1961. Both the Federal “ZCT” and the “You-Phase” have changed very little from the original Backster techniques.

Q

Comparison formats designed for “single issue” testing. The thought behind this is that single issue testing will reduce the number of “inconclusive/no opinion test” results.

A

ZCT and You-Phase are zone of comparison formats

Q

This technique utilizes two primary relevant questions only.

A

You-Phase
In both the ZCT and You-Phase, the two primary relevant questions have the same meaning and basically the same structure. The two primary relevant questions are just slightly re-worded.

Q

The secondary relevant question generally can cover three areas:

A

secondary involvement
evidence connecting
guilty knowledge

R10: Did you help anyone steal that car?
R10: Did you plan with anyone to steal that
car?
R10: Did you participate in any way in the
taking of that car?

specific to guilty knowledge can be used to determine if an examinee saw, heard or knows something about the issue for which he/she is being tested. (*NOTE: If you go with “Do you know for sure…….” You MUST define for the examinee the meaning of “Do you know for sure”)

The examinee would only “know for sure” if he or she:
Committed the act himself or herself
The examinee saw the person commit the act
The person who committed the act told the examinee that he or she committed the act

R10: Do you know for sure what type of gun was used to
shoot that man?
R10: Do you now know for sure where that gun is that was
used to shoot that man?

Q

SACRIFICE RELEVANT QUESTION

A

It always is positioned somewhere at the beginning of the testing format. In the case of both the ZCT and U-Phase, it appears as the second question in the sequence of questions. The Sacrifice Relevant encompasses the issue for which the examinee is being tested, and it is to be strong.
Examples:
Regarding whether or not you stole that car, do you intend to answer each question on this test truthfully?
Regarding the taking of that car, do you intend to answer each question on this test truthfully?
The sacrifice relevant is NOT numerically evaluated.

Q

These two techniques require ALL questions must be reviewed with the examinee prior to the examination. HOWEVER, they should NOT be reviewed with the examinee in the sequence or even close to the sequence in which they will be presented during the examination.

The questions should be reviewed in the following order:
Sacrifice Relevant, Relevant, Comparison, Irrelevant and Symptomatic

24
Q

Rotate only the comparison questions in these techniques…

A

You-Phase Technique
-MUST ROTATE COMPARISONS ON THE NEXT CHART
-can go back to regular order on 3rd chart
-if 4th chart, rotate comparison again

25
Q

Federal rules for how many required charts?

A

Minimum of 3 and maximum of 5

26
Q

ZCT Question Order:
KNOW THIS

R5 IS COMPARED TO C4 AND C6
R7 AGAINST C6
R10 AGAINST C9

A

Irrelevant/Neutral (1)
Sacrifice Relevant (2)
Symptomatic (3) YES ANSWER SYMPTOMATIC
Comparison (C4)
Relevant (Primary, R5)
Comparison (C6) USE THE STRONGEST COMPARISON HERE
Relevant (Primary, R7)
Symptomatic (8) NO ANSWER SYMPTOMATIC
Comparison (C9)
Relevant (Secondary, R10)

27
Q

You Phase Question Order:
KNOW THIS

Only changes from R7 and down compared to ZCT…Flipping the No comparison with the symptomatic.

A

Irrelevant/Neutral (1)
Sacrifice Relevant (2)
Symptomatic (3)
Comparison (C4)
Relevant (Primary, R5)
Comparison (C6)
Relevant (Primary, R7)
Comparison (C8)
Symptomatic (9)

28
Q

ZCT “Analysis Zones”
KNOW THIS

A

R5 is “Bracketed” and can be compared to either C4 or C6.
The strongest reaction/response in each “channel”, between C4 and C6, is the response that is used to compare against R5.

R7 is compared against C6

R10 is compared against C9

29
Q

You Phase “Analysis Zones”

A

R5 and R7 are both “Bracketed” and can be compared to either of the adjacent comparison questions.
R5 compared to C4 and C6
R7 compared to C6 and C8

The strongest reaction/response in each “channel” in the adjacent comparisons is the response that is used to compare against R5 and R7.

30
Q

For the Federal ZCT, there is vertical/spot scoring that is considered as well as an overall/grand total score.

A

DI = -3 or less at any “spot” OR -6 or less overall

NDI = +1 or greater in each “spot” AND +6 or greater overall

INC/NO = all else

31
Q

For the Federal You-Phase, there is vertical/spot scoring that is considered as well as an overall/grand total score.

A

DI = -3 or less at any “spot” OR -4 or less overall

NDI = +1 or greater in each “spot” AND +4 or greater overall

INC/NO = all else

32
Q

Air Force Modified General Question Test
-only one validated with NCCA

A

The AFMGQT is a modified version of the Reid Technique.

In 1968, USAMPS modified the technique and called the Army MGQT

In the mid 1970’s, the Air Force modified the Army MGQT by adding a sacrifice relevant question, adding more comparison questions and allowing for several different versions/variations of the Air Force MGQT - 2, 3 or 4 relevant questions.

33
Q

Applications for the AFMGQT

A

The Air Force MGQT is a comparison question technique.

The following versions of the AFMGQT, in specific issue testing, are used when there are a multitude of case facts (Example: Burglary)

The Air Force MGQT can also be used for Pre-Employment Testing and PSCOT (multiple issue testing).

34
Q

Limitations of the AFMGQT

A

Sensitivity – detecting the deceptive
Specificity – detecting the truthful

The AFMGQT is “good” at identifying the deceptive examinee, but not equally as good at identifying the truthful/innocent.

35
Q

AFMGQT Comparison Questions

A

The comparison questions utilized for the AFMGQT are Probable Lie Comparisons & exclusive. MUST USE PROBABLE LIES.

Directed Lie Comparisons are NOT permitted!!!!!!!

36
Q

Question Rotation for the AFMGQT

A

The relevant and comparison questions MUST be rotated systematically.
Allows each RQ the opportunity to be scored against each CQ.
Can help to avoid HABITUATION.

Habituation – adaption to a stimulus over time. As an examinee habituates to a stimulus, his/her response may diminish in both intensity and frequency

37

45
Q

AFMGQT Test Data Analysis

A

Remember this is a single-issue test, but it is a multi-facet test (meaning the examinee may be truthful to some of the relevant questions, but not others).

As a result, the sum of each of the evaluation spots (R4, R6, R8 & R10) are NOT added together to consider a “grand total score”.

46
Q

AFMGQT Test Data Analysis

A

DI/SR = -3 or less in any “spot” (R4, R6, R8 or R10)

NDI/NSR = +3 or greater in ALL “spots” (R4, R6, R8 & R10)

INC/NO = all else

There are no “split scores”, meaning the examinee is not said to be truthful to some questions and deceptive to some or inconclusive to some.
“You fail one question, you fail the entire exam!”

You may determine which questions are showing the greatest reactions to focus initially on them during successive hurdles or post-test.

A minimum of 3 charts must be run.

If INC/NO after 3 charts, a 4th and/or 5th chart may be run

Same cut-off scores regardless if 3, 4 or 5 charts.

NO GRAND TOTALS - SPOT SCORES ONLY

47
Q

Multi Issue Tests

A

SR and NSR used screening tests

48
Q

Single Issue Tests

A

DI and NDI used for screening tests
