soooo, tomorrow morning i go for my third testing session. i've already gone for two sessions of about two and a half hours each.
the idea is to be assessing me for asperger's, yet all the tests so far have been personality typing. they did have my housemate who is a lifelong friend answer a comprehensive questionnaire about me as well.

i do understand the necessity for those personality typing tests, but am a bit concerned that tomorrow will be more of the same.

and what if it is? i'm expecting at some point to be given a test which is at least somewhat similar to those example online tests like the aspie quiz or mind in the eyes and such.

i know i'm projecting, but i already feel on guard; as if i'm gearing up for a battle of wits with the psychologist. frankly, i can't see how the tests i've taken can give a clear result if i've got asperger's or not. i can see how they would indicate a mindset often seen in aspies, but nothing definitive.

what to do? state my misgivings and uneasiness to the psychologist right away? or be patient and take the tests as he plans to, and only say something if no "aspie tests" are given to me?

is my experience anything familiar to others who've had their assessments?

My test after the personality ones was about IQ in 3 categories.
I was told to answer IQ questions.

Then I was told to draw and express myself, and they asked me questions on what I would do in certain situations.
(A lot of them, it took like 2 hours)
