During my evaluation, the clinical psychologist administered the Advanced Clinical Solutions (ACS) – Social Cognition test. I actually scored OK on these tests. But apparently, I lacked “automaticity”. Instead, the clinical psychologist described some sort of rule-based “mental decision tree” I used to determine which emotion was being conveyed. How did she know? Well, apparently, I have this tendency to "verbally mediate tasks".
