Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Comparison Question Test has been criticized for all the reasons mentioned in options A, B, C and D. It is susceptible to countermeasures as suspects can try to manipulate their physiological responses to both types of questions. It has a high false-false rate, meaning that innocent suspects may appear guilty due to the nature of the test. The use of subjective scoring methods can also introduce errors and biases in the assessment. Finally, the assumption that innocent suspects will show larger responses to comparison questions as compared to relevant questions has been called into question as it may not hold true in all cases.
