I'm looking for advice and maybe some input from someone with experience with this.
I'm trying to get a job that requires extensive psychological evaluations before employment. I've had to take the MMPI 2 several times as my results on that test point me to having ADHD. I'm now to a point where I'm required to take neuropsychological screening with an EEG to determine whether or not I'm ADHD. It's a public safety job so the requirements are fairly stringent.

I wanted to see if anyone here had any experience with this sort of testing, and how to find someone fair/unbiased that will give me a fair assessment. I feel as though the psychologists I've worked with up til now have only looked at the MMPI results and then cherry picked aspects of my personality (poor grades in college, a few speeding tickets were cited specifically) that pointed to irresponsible and reckless behavior indicating that I'm ADHD and that agreed with the MMPI results and an Rorschach test. They ignored the 2 degrees I obtained in spite of my grades, and the job that I'd held for 5 years and been promoted multiple times in.
Sorry, there's a little bitterness here. It's been a stressful 4 years going after this position but I'm not going to give up yet.

I'd appreciate any thoughts and insight. Thank you.
