Setting the Record Concerning the Differences Between the Matte Quadri-Track and the Backster Zone Comparison Techniques
Journal Title: European Polygraph - Year 2018, Vol 45, Issue 3
Abstract
There has been some question within the polygraph community regarding whether the Matte Quadri-Track Zone Comparison Technique with its innovative changes were original or merely a copy of the Backster Zone Comparison Technique from which the MQTZCT emanated. Th e published documents provided herein, clearly show that the MQTZCT reduced the Truth Cut-Off scores in its conclusion table six years before the Backster ZCT implemented its Truth Cut-Off score reduction. The MQTZCT also retained the value of the Cut-Off scores in each chart, rather than diminish their value with each chart as in the Backster ZCT.
