The Guilty Knowledge Test (GKT) is a psychophysiological questioning technique that can be used as part of a polygraph examination which purports to assess whether suspects conceal "guilty knowledge" by measuring their physiological responses while responding to a series of multiple choice questions. It can therefore be of great value in the appointment of personnel, as well as in establishing culpability in cases of employee theft or fraud. The control question
