Sometimes subjects are given a practice test that will record their body's response to telling a lie. In this test, the examiner tells the subject to think of a number one and ten and to answer "no" to all questions. Then, the examiner asks "Is the number one?," "Is the number two?," and so on, until the examiner has asked the question for all the numbers from one to ten. Why is this a good practice test? i'm just wondering since my friend has taken this test--

Whether you tell a lie voluntarily or involuntarily, whether the lie is easy (like in this case) or difficult, the moment you realise that you are telling a lie, there will be a subtle response and that is what the practice test is trying to capture! So, even if you are an accomplished liar, you will give yourself away. I think this practice test makes the job of the examiner a little easier.
