Hello Everyone!

Last week I went in for psychiatric testing. I had to take a 550 true false test with all kinds of statements...weird ones, too! What exactly are they looking for with this? I have an appointment to see the therapist next week and she'll go over it with me. I don't really know what to expect. I'm afraid of being disqualified or something. Does everyone have to do this, or is it just some insurance requires it?

Different thearpist use different tactics. The true false test uses ways to catch you in lying. They say they can tell if you are emotional eater, or lying by taking that test. I opted out on that one, and went to another thearpist.

I had to take the t/f test. Mine was around 338 questions or something like that. He said I passed with no problems. I also had a sit down meeting with him right after to discuss my fam, support system, how long I've been overweight etc.

I took had to take the MMPI2 test it was 567 true false here is what the test is

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is one of the most frequently used personality tests in mental health. The test is used by trained professionals to assist in identifying personality structure and psychopathology. Among its many uses, it is perhaps best known as the personality test that is used in conjunction with Secret and Top Secret security clearances required for many positions within United States federal agencies that incur an extensive responsibility for life and property, such as the Department of Defense, Central Intelligence Agency, and the Federal Aviation Administration.

Thats from Wikipedia. I had my sit down with my pschologist first, and then i came back to take the test. wasnt too bad just answer then honestly. took me about hr and half.

Good luck with your results. I haven't even had my consultation yet (next week) but I'm already worried about failing my psych evaluation. I wish I knew exactly what they were looking for.
