psych eval

Hi everyone The eval was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. My case worker did make it sound like it was going to be 3 LONG HOURS of me on his couch pouring my heart out. It lasted a little over an hour. He asked me about my family and my weight. I had two math test, A reading test, A spelling test, answer some history questions. Played with some blocks , look at some pictures of ink blobs and told him what I think I saw, definations test and other word test. He was very nice and to the point. It was not at all what I expected. It made me feel like I really did not pay attention in High School with the History questions and the oral math test. I will get a phone call in about a week or two and we will discuss the results. Thanks for everyones kind words when I first posted about my eval. Take Care, Kay

Hello Kay.... I'm glad it went so well for you! I had some of the same fears as you did...but realized that it was a breeze! Your evaluation sounds much different then mine though. My psychologist took a history of my weight, eating habits, exercise habits, and family history--but it never got into all those tests and blocks and such....sounds interesting!! Take care and good luck on your journey! Melissa

Kay, Glad to hear it went well. Chip

Glad it went well. Very different from mine too - mine was more of a chat about my life, my history, family, etc. The psychologist was very supportive of my relationship which was terrific. I felt that we liked each other and he told the doc that I was an excellent candidate - very realistic and intelligent. Wow - that seems like yesterday. Ruth
