I do know that isn't how it works, but I can't stop obsessing over it.

If you've taken these tests before, can you calm my fears and give me ideas on what to expect for the test and our session after? We'll be meeting the 25th to go over the results.
I'm no testing expert, but I have taken the MMPI and been evaluated on it. It's really no big deal. It is NOT a lie detector test. The results give your T a better idea of where you need help and how to give you that help. I don't think you can "lie" on the MMPI. Actually, it's very interesting. Try to persuade your T to share the results with you. If you'd like more information, I'd suggest that you just google MMPI. You'll probably get a large number of hits. Take care.
