If I say I'm a chemical engineer, it's not going to take much depth of knowledge for the questioner to find out I don't know things any chemical engineer would know, for example. (It wouldn't be hard to come up with some computerized system for pulling up lists of questions like this. Like, someone says he's Catholic, and you ask him who was born without sin as a direct result of the immaculate conception, or ask him to say a Hail Mary.) So this might force you to tell more of the truth, which makes it easier to profile you.
There must be trained and educated people and they don't even have to lie. Speaking out their entire life minus the six months to two years at a terrorist training camp still will not give any useful info to the questioner. However, as you mentioned a well trained officer will quickly be able to detect stress patterns and be a sign of warning. For lesser people,it is a decent test.
