Has anyone had to take the 500 ? personality test as part of their psych evaluation? I was told it would take about 2 hours and then I meet with the psychiatrist. Goodness what is the deal? They should automatically "pass" you if are dedicated enough to sit for 2 hours taking a test! Any words of advice because I go for the eval tomorrow morning. :mad2:

Simple yes or no questions like "I love my mother", "I want to be a fireman" and my personal favorite "I like to torture small animals". Some of the questions are repeated, some several times. It is very boring but take your time and answer honestly (I was told that they can tell if you did not). There really isn't a pass or fail unless you don't answer honestly or you have some serious psych issues; it just determines personality and other traits about you. After evaluating my test she was able to describe my personality quite accurately and also determine that I have an addictive personality. I was also scheduled for two hours but it actually took closer to one hour.

Yeah there is no pass or fail. After 3 hours it told them I am impatient and give up when things dont happen as fast as I like them to. Way off base!!!

Yes, I had to take it too. However, they were kind enough to mail it to me a few weeks before my psych consult so that they already had the results. I think I had to pay $150 for the test too.

Answer honestly!

If memory serves me correct is was acutally 567 questions....

But they are all one sentence yes or no answers....

After that I then got to read more senteces and fill in the missing word and prononce a list of 50 words for the pyschatirst...talk about make me feel dumb

I think the whole appt took me maybe an hour and a half....

Then I was able to go home and tell my DH and close friends that I am "Offically" NOT CRAZY (they think i snowed the Dr)

It will be fine....don't stress about it, good luck on your journey

I am so glad I didn't have to do that test That is a long long test!

I had to take a personality test, but it wasn't that long, took me less than a half hour to complete. It had a lot of questions about how good you are at following doctors instructions and addictive behaviors.

i just took that test last friday and it was so long. i was irritated by the end. i finished it in 1hr 15mins and then there was a paper test. i have to go back for the actual evaluation on 03/20 - ought to be interesting !
