That stupid big test that you are talking about is an MMPI--Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. They're a very long test to see if you are psycho. It's a bunch of yes/no questions like: I always feel like my health is worse than others my age. Now how are you supposed to feel about that? There are a lot of Always and Never. Then they ask the same question with the words in a different order. From all of this they divine how sane we are?!?!?!
I had to take one for a lawsuit I was involved in a long time ago, and I was waiting for my first back surgery. They asked the question above, and I put yes, because other people in my peer group weren't waiting for a room and a spinal fusion. Well, the "reader" of it, someone whom I had never met, responded that I was a hypochondriac with borderline personality disorder. If the doorknob had met me, it would be logical to answer in this way. They do it with everything you can think of. "Sometimes I feel like everyone is out to get me." Who hasn't thought that at some point in life. It's actually laughable it's so arcane. I think they get more money if they administer it.
