Test..... very nervous

Today during my session my psychologist asked me to do this test thing with like 250 questions it is supposed to be a very comprehensive test for personality issues and he said he didnt want to be missing anything with me. That is ok but now i am super nervous about what might happen i tried to be very honest but i am worried because i dont know what else he suspects i have. He asked me to do it after he read the letter i wrote him which had a lot in it ugh i am scared now i dont know if i can trust him and i am getting paranoid and my head wont stop.

Your T just sounds like he is being thorough. Testing isn't out of the ordinary. I was tested years ago…old school inkblots and IQ test and stuff you mention. It's just a tool to help T understand where you are right now. It's not anything that will be "used against you".

Thank you i just keep getting worried and i am scared he might tell my parents about the results depending on what they are i just dont know what to think and i am worried he will find out some things and i dont know if i answered them right ahhh my head wont stop.

Eden, I think there are no right and wrong answers, it's just providing him with information about how best to support you.
Could you ask him how he'll use the results from the test?

You could ask him if test results will even be revealed to your parents. I thought that T's only disclose to parents when a safety issue is involved?

He said he just doesn't want to miss anything going on with me and cause i have a lot going on i find it hard to explain it all i am just worried i rushed it or something i just feel really nervous about it and what will happen.

there was a lot of stuff about sui thoughts and feelings so i dont know of he will have to share it.

This kind of test doesn't have right or wrong answers. It actually doesn't give a decisive diagnosis either if it is the one I'm thinking of. What happens is that the answers you give will show tendencies in your personality, etc. that may help the therapist have a better understanding of what makes you tick so to speak. The answers kind of pool themselves into categories of descriptors.

If you are a minor, honestly, I'd suspect he would go over the results with your parents if they are paying for it; however, you are in Australia, so I have no idea how that will work there.

My minor son was given this type of test and the therapist sat down and went over the findings. It wasn't anything earth-shattering. No decisions were made based on the results. It was simply a tool in helping the therapist and us gain a better understanding of what was going on with my son at the time.

I am also a little worried cause my feelings often change and i am worried that will affect the results as he says he has to pay because it is an american test and he has to send it to them to get the results and ugh i dont know.

Ugh i am really nervous i cant stop thinking about this test thing now and what the results might be i am super nervous he might think i am even more of a retard or crazy i am not crazy but i dont think some people would believe me after i told them certain things whoch is why i dont mention them but i started trying to tell my psychologist some of them and now this i dont know what to do.

Can I respectfully suggest that rather than fearing the results of this test you approach the results with a mild curiosity to see if they help shed light on who you are and how you think? I am sure you are not a bad person or a defective one, whatever those labels might mean, then again in the nature of things you are unlikely to be 'perfect' if such a person could exist in this less than perfect world.

I am trying really hard i just i am scared i know he said it was just to make sure he wasnt missing anything but that makes me wondering what else he was thinking which scares me a bit i just ugh i am trying really hard but i just feel like i dont know i just i am nervous.

There is nothing to worry about as no specific results could be determined after just one test. It can't be that decisive at all. Just treat it like a casual questionnaire or survey not a big deal

I am trying I am just worried because what if then after the results it confirms what whatever he had been thinking was wrong with me and then what should I do I am just I have been trying to tell him more stuff lately but now I am wondering if I should have and I don't want another reason for my parents to think I am stupid.
