Been through comprehensive psychological evaluations so many times I can see one shrink that I had 2 with, with my eyes closed.
You cant get a "read" on the testing shrink because they have to remain neutral so as not to infuence the testing one way or the other.
Just go with it, if this is for SSDI let him find all that he can because the more he finds the better the chance at getting approved for SSDI the first time through.
You may tell them you are not this and that but they need to find that info for themselves based on your answers on the questions and your body language and tone of voice and facial expressions when being asked the questions. The more you tell them you are not something they will write you up as being in denial of possibly having that.
Remain calm and aswer the questions calmly as if it was the first time you heard that question. You will find there are going to be many questions asked more than once (for example one computerized test asks the same question 13 different times but worded slightly different but they are looking for consistancy in answers.) to see if you change your answer or add more information. Tip for testing: In the psych world there is no such thing as "never" and "always". Nothing is black and white because there is always room for exploring.
