in college? I learned about the general psych testing like tthe TAT and roarshacks and multiaxil tests and state mental testing but for more in depth of tests geared for specific disorders that comes when you are at internship levels because new tests come out every year. so that only if use them to test with or you take them you know about them kind of thing.

Kind of like SAT's in school. no one knows whats involved until they are distributed and put into use and they change from year to year to prevent the general public from learning how to bluff their way through them.

But in college they are able to tell you things like the TAT is supposed to gage emotional level and distinctions of emotions but what they don't offen tell you unless you are at internship level is that the persons answers refect how they are feeling at that moment about the the topic that was just discussed right before the person is showed the pictures.

the tester brings up a topic and then shows the person the TAT pictures they have already selected that will get a certain response.

for example when they were trying to test whether or not I would have a reaction to my PTSD associated with my being raped I was shown a picture of a woman hiding behind a door and told to make up a story about it. I wasn't told what they were looking for just showed that picture and make up a story to go with it. It wasn't until after the report came back that I found out they were looking for whether or not I could recognize the feeling of fear in the picture and relate it to me. they don't normally go that in dept during college classes because a majority of the students don't go on to intern level of study and practice.

If I remember right behavioral statistics will be dealing more with numbers one in 4 girls get raped and one in three boys get raped kind of things only with all kinds of behaviors including a mixure of devient behavior and mental disorder behaviours. but not specifically focused on mental health diagnostic testing procedures.
