“Stubborn, with a tendency to ignore other people’s opinions”

Abstract

Up until now, I have been reluctant to undergo any psychometric tests on myself as I had this inner fear that they would reveal my suppressed intentions to eliminate certain persons, especially politicians, from the surface of the planet. I worried that when the points were added up at the end of the questionnaire, that a red flashing sign would appear on the screen saying: “Seek help immediately!” I would be classified in the far end pages of the DSM-IV revised. I had also been, as most doctors are, skeptical of these processes, and put them in the alternative box, along with horoscopes and Madame Placenta, the fortune-teller.
