Hi Raceka, do you know why your counselor wants you to take the tests? The question of taking tests is an interesting one, and I wonder if they are more useful for some people than others? For me, what would my therapist learn from a test that he could not learn from talking to me? I tend to present a brave front and make things out to be better than they are, so I am sure I would score higher on tests (more functional, less traumatized, less abused, less anxious, less depressed, etc.) than I really am. Whereas I am open with my T, and he knows and sees my truth. He does on occasion have to tell me to "quit minimizing" my issues, and I respond to that with greater honesty. So at least in my case, my T would get a more accurate measure of me and my issues by talking with me than by tests. Of the two therapists I've had, neither proposed tests. Is psychological testing something that T's with a particular therapeutic approach tend to use in practice?
