The testing was intimidating the first time I did it because I knew what they were looking for - a counselor thought I should be tested for Multiple personality disorder and I didn't want to be a Sybil.

But once I got to doing the test it wasn't that bad. I was told that it was ok if I could not answer some or any questions in fact the questions would start out easy and then get harder on each subject and when I missed a certain number in a row that was my grade level and I was expected to miss certain questions because of my background of geographical location, type of school that I attended and so on. Here in the USA now they have set standards of what should be taught but each school can decide based on location and what the students will most likely need for that general location for example schools on the east coast teach french and german for their foreign language requirements in high school but on the west coast they teach spanish as a foriegn language. The reason being those on the east coast statistically will encounter more french and german speaking people and on the west coast statistically people will encounter more mexicans and spanish speaking indiviuals.

For math I scored 9th grade level and english 8th grade level and history 8th grade and reading comprehension I scored 9th grade and writing comprehension 9th grade. and at the time of the testing I was attending college part time and passing those college level courses. and having those test scores I graduated from college. LOL

And I wasn't given the tests each and every time that I saw a psychiatrist. Those tests were given to me yearly to chart my progress - rate of healing from my disorders, problems that could now be ruled out because they have been taken care of, problems yet to be taken care of, any new problems that may need to be addressed and so on. Whether or not a person goes through yearly testing also depends on the type of disorders, I was told my having MPD put me in the catagory of being tested yearly to chart my progress because during normal interviewing of answering a psychiatrists questions does not always address all the symptoms mainly because of a persons rate of switching personalities the person can very easily hide their symptoms during interviews, but because of validity score questions built into the computerized tests its harder to mask those symptoms. Its not impossible but harder to hide the symptoms with the testing proceedures specifically for MPD testing.
