Reply to "IQ test"

Hi Turtle,
Areyou sure you have not misunderstood the type of test?
Before starting therapy here it is normal to undergo a psychological test called SCID ( structural clinical interview for DSM disorders).
It consists of 113, yes or no questions, which you answer by yourself, followed by follow up questions from the psychologist on those questions which you responded yes to. The purpose is to determine your personality type, such as dependent, avoident etc. This imformation is then used to plan your therapy needs.
It is an aid for your T to understand you better and assess your needs.

Unless your T has said otherwise, I am sure this is what they mean. It took me about 1 hour to complete the first part myself and then one therapy session with T to complete the rest.

Hope this helps! Don't worry!
