Does a psych eval by somone who doesn't know me seem off?

I am a little worried about this. Most of us know that the psych eval can be a crock in mose cases. I'm being seen by someone who I have never even met, who doesn't know anything about me, my history, etc. I just had this today, and I don't know how it went. He kept having this awful sad face when after him asking, I mentioned my parents had divorced a year ago. Like I was supposed to be fragile or something. He gave me these bogus depression and anxiety tests, which were made for people who come in with these complaints, as they had no space to mark NEVER or NO in some question asking if I had a specific symptom of depression or anxiety. So I wrote it in... Then the MMPI. I was in fits of laughter from the stupidity of some of the questions. Honestly-- I have read that there is something that can tell if you are being "fake-good." How in the world? I am HONESTLY a very well-adjusted person who is MO. So as well-adjusted as I can be. I'm not depressed or anxious or schizophrenic or hysterical or psychotic. I don't hear voices or think people are controlling or stealing my thoughts. I'm not even afraid of snakes and I have no desire to harm animals. Isn't this all that should matter? I'm not going to kill myself-- I happen to love myself, however, I will die of heart disease or diabetes if I don't get this surgery-- because NOTHING else works! Sorry for ranting... I just hate someone trying to evaluate me from talking to me for 45 minutes. And how *most* psychologists are always trying to look for problems that aren't there... like he was. This whole thing could GIVE me a psychosis!
