I have a copy of my first psych eval from when I was 5 and i was tested for adhd. It says it was inconclusive because I was unable to finish the test. I also took the MMPI-2 when I was 22 and that too said it was inconclusive because it appeard I checked everything randomly even though I remember checking things accurately. Theres others Im not thinking of right now. Has anyone else had tests that were inconclusive because of these kinds of results?

I'd love to see my early psych evals. I would have been about 7 or 8. They were destroyed in a fire. When I was tested for placement before 1st grade I would have been assessed as borderline MR except for my drawing ability.

My tests from early childhood say PDD. I remember having an EEG at age seven but they had to keep restarting it over and over because I could not stay still. I could not control my body at all and I wonder if restarting it was even a good idea. I had tics and body movements I could not control and I bet whenever a kid has a grand mal seizure they reset the test. I had a phobia of EEGs for years and even had nightmares about them for years (yeah, I'm weird). I think it came back inconclusive as well. My parents threw my original paper work out because they felt they did not need a bunch of shrinks telling them how to raise me. An IQ test came back in the 70's and I know that is not accurate for someone as intelligent and articulate as I am. Supposedly I am cured of AS or autism but those ignoramus shrinks do not know how hard I had to struggle to get this far and admit they have never heard of Temple Grandin

Hearing tests always come back inconclusive even as an adult because I can't cope with the sensation of the headphones and the noises and I shut down. I can hear but can't always make out people's exact words. If people don't speak slowly it sounds like gibberish. I can understand the words of imigrants better than most people who have supposedly been speaking English their whole lives because they speak extra slow so they can pronounce the words right. I am told I used to speak in a monotone as a kid and I wonder if it was because I was trying to get the hang of English.

I know some basic Spanish and a little Swahili (it was a special interest, I'm learning Zulu and Gaelic as well) but I speak those in a monotone as well so I can pronounce the words just right. I think that's what the deal with my monotone as a kid was. In a way, English is not my first language either. Images and sensations is. Learning to talk was difficult because I had to translate the pictures in my head into what people called words and vice versa. When learning another language I have to "see" the image, translate it into English and then into Spanish or Zulu or whatever. But yeah, every test always comes back inconclusive.

^ ^ ^ Yeah I was gong to say, "well DUH DUH DUH" That certainly is NOT inconclusive! Extra points for getting up and running around during the test.

Not sure about a lot of mine, but I do know that one psychiatrist (a middle-aged male, for the record) in 1983 was convinced that I was conflicted about my sexual identity because I attended the appointment in blue jeans! Freudian douchebag. Everyone wore jeans in 1983, you would be an even bigger social pariah than I was if you failed to wear blue jeans.

I think very little of the average "professional" medical type. They may not rest upon their laurels. They, like everyone else, have to prove themselves individually.

Anyway, I know one thing, if they'd gotten anywhere with their assessments of me, they wouldn't have been so incompetent in "helping" me. So I'd say their tests were inconclusive.
