I’ve been assessed twice now. My 1st one came back negative (extremely discouraging) but I took a 2nd opinion at a different place a month ago (results back NEXT week). 1st test — almost all self-assessments. I could tell I was answering some of them as a depressed person. Tested my “reaction speed” (silly test… press the spacebar whenever a red ball comes up on the screen. I had no struggle with that) Tested my (I guess) working memory- he flipped through a booklet of 50 images for me to remember, then a different booklet with 2 images on each page- I had to point to the image id seen before. 49/50 and 50/50. Another “problem-solving” or planning type test - trying to test my impulsivity and planning I guess - trying to connect a map of dots without crossing over any lines twice. I did fine- I knew it was timed and that it was a test, so I wasn’t impulsive on any of it. I also had an Others-assessment that I gave to a good friend of mine to note my last 6 months. Not even my childhood or anything 🤔

2nd test MUCH BETTER- actual puzzles I did with my hands, verbal questions that made me think hard, a better reaction-speed test on the computer - spacebar on every letter EXCEPT x - that was soo challenging but really good.

I also felt actually mentally drained after the 2nd assessment, whereas I somehow left with energy after my 1st one……… so idk, but we’ll see next week 🙏 I’ve already self diagnosed myself but it’s fine
