I am glad to see you here again. I PMed you few months ago worrying if you were all right.

The way you answered these questions sound like my husband. Years ago he was in a bad shape, doctors couldn’t find right meds and his OCD took over his life (its safety OCD) and applied for disability (he has legitimate disability: Tourette’s syndrome and severe OCD). He described to me questions he was asked and his he replied, sounds like your story about 5 presidents. He was denied disability.

Eventually his doctor found right meds and my now husband escaped his ex and abusive marriage and never needed to apply for disability again. He is doing well. But when he was telling me about the test I could imagine how aggravated tester was. I was annoyed just listening!

The point here is not how smart one is but how well can one take tests and how well can one BS. If you really want SSI, when asked about 5 presidents you should just suck it up and list 5 presidents or not list them but try not to aggravate testers. Try not to overthink it.
