That's exciting.

I don't get these kinds of questions very often . . . guess helping my kids with science all the time has somehow kept me in the loop or something.

Plus, we'd been at it all morning and most of the afternoon when she gave me that test. The MMPI-2 was the last thing she gave me....

I get that too, Gazelle. Lot's of times when I stop, everything else doesn't. Apparently that is the definition of vertigo.

I could forgive her for the things she did when I was a child because she did do the best she was able, but I do not forgive her for the things she did when I was an adult. You have to draw a line somewhere. Mine was at age 36. As for my father, how do you feel about a man who gets remarried when you're 13, tells you two weeks after it, and when you ask why you and your younger brother weren't invited he responds, "We only had close family there." I'm his DAUGHTER. That was his SON. How much closer family can you get??????

That's been the hallmark of my relationship with my father since he and my mom split.

My mom was too crazy to intend any harm, and my dad died very young . . . so maybe that was a blessing.

I've done quite a few of these tests, just out of curiousity mostly. I was in HR for years and was interested in the personality assessments especially. I actually learned a lot from that testing, both about myself and others that did them! They feel kinda' creepy when you do them though as there never seems to be a "right" answer . . .

I would fail terribly at those questions, but I think if a person did well they might actually be more worried about THEM, then they do the "normal" people.

I think they are testing on how you react to the stress of stupid questions more then whether you know the answer.
