John,

Nothing wrong with it - and don't sweat it. You are not alone and you've described half of the human population. ;)

PS: Check your PM -

Have you to see her again? Does she give you any advice?

Sometimes it's good when an objective person 'sums us up' etc as we may not know or maybe put it into words some of our problems then we can work on them. And you got a free shrink to maybe help you with yours.

Now it would be interesting for me to have someone do that to me - yikes I'd be petrified But it would be helpful all the same.

I am very shy with strangers and find it hard to speak to them (until I get to know them) so know a bit how you feel with social situations.

Wow John, got an extra chair for me? In some situations there's been certain frames of mind with life that I've experienced almost everyone of those accusations/analysis. And excuse me, but I've experienced them mostly in my christian walk

Distrustfulness and excessive self-reliance.......being in this world, and not of it....yes

Consumed by anticipation of betrayal......these are the last days, and God warns us of betrayal and having to function in this world being surrounded by betrayal every where you look

Relentlessly suspicious......you betcha when there's a dishonest person around me, or I'm waiting to see the fruit they bear i.e. like our government

"Loner" mentality; avoidance of social situations......yes when I'm not among brethern at a social event

Appear to others as remote, aloof, and unengaged.....I'm sure it's how the secular worlds views me, and some christians, cause you know us christians are already considered fanatics

Low sexual desire.......no comment except to say, I have more important things on my mind

Unresponsive to praise or criticism.....of course cause all the praise goes to God, and as long as it's constructive criticism, no problem, but I'm not going to let someone spiritually beat me down

Stubborn......you betcha when it comes to my faith, or if someone is trying to influence me in the wrong direction

Superstitious or preoccupied with paranormal phenomena......alot of secular people consider christians as being this way because it's not something they can hold in their hands and see with their earthly eyes.

Appears shy, aloof, or withdrawn to others......yes until I know them, I'm cautious/careful where I tread until I know I'm not in the enemys camp

Disregard for the feelings of others......only when they've totally disregard the rules of my home knowing them before they come in, yelp I let them have it!

Lack of remorse......only when God has given me a word for someone that they're in harms way and then they totally disregard it, and then it comes to past and then want to literally cry on my shoulder asking me why, and if I have any remorse it's that they didn't listen in the first place when I thoroughly express it so it didn't come to past.

Disregard for the safety of self and others....only if it came to someone attempting to cause bodily harm to another, i.e. like seeing a man hit on a women or child, yelp I'd pick something up to make the odds even and hit them to get them off of her or a child until help came

Strong feelings of anger, anxiety, or depression that last for several hours.....feel this everytime I watch the news and see all the killings/gang drive by shootings/robberies/political pros and cons/global warmings/polution/child porn/molestation , etc. etc.

Impulsive behavior.......years ago my therapist when my son and husband were killed said I needed to be more impulsive instead of studying everything from all aspects before I move. So can you share some?

Feelings of low self-worth.......I only have self worth in Christ, so when I step outside of that realm by sin, of course I feel that way until I get myself where I'm suppose to be in HIM

Rapidly-shifting and shallow emotions......hey who hasn't laughed when someone's done something that's cartoon style. Like this person I know whose cat was on the counter and his dog was lying in the doorway at the kitchen and when he ran to get his cat off the counter, and went to jump over his dog and hit his forehead on the door frame which shot his legs straight out, and the dog ran and he landed on his bum, and the cat on the counter was looking at him like he's nuts and its fur all hackled up. Laughed my bum off until I seen the blood! and though I was trying to help him, I couldn't stop laughing and saying opps sorry and laugh some more.

Lack of empathy......yelp, I don't have understanding for anyone who live their lives for the distruction of others or for the pure joy of it

Social inhibition; retreating from others.....you betcha if God has warned me of someone that is diffinately not of God, and is a wolf in sheeps clothing, or me living out in the boonies away from people so I can have my privacy without someone saying hey whats that on the grill and cuts down the flow of people knocking on my door....I'm going for it! I'm country folk! I could live in a cabin in the mountains and be totally self sufficent and be so happy if my nearest neighbor was miles from me.

Need for perfection and excessive discipline......of course when I want to be like my Savior, and be right in HIS Word and HIM

Preoccupation with orderliness.....we serve a God of order without confusion

Hyper-focus on details and rules.....when it comes to HIS Word..YES!

Excessive devotion to work.......When God has called me forth to do something in HIS name, you betcha, or if I'm working, I do a job according to the depth of quality that God requires from me because it reflects who I am in Christ.


My point is John, we can all experience the same analysis in our lives with situations/places/people/things of our life. You know who you are in Christ John. Prayer will bring you through.

I got my test result back from her today.

If you want to alarm someone, make a really broad sweeping statement such as "All psychology is wrong". People usually have a reflexive antagonistic reaction. When asked to support such a claim, I usually say that there is no psychological theory of human behavior that includes the concept of sin. Without understanding sin, human behavior cannot be accurately modeled and derived therapeutic remedies cannot hope to be effective. Supporting this contention is that almost every measure of the effectiveness of psychological counseling shows it to be no different that receiving no treatment at all.

The results of your test reflect more on the assessment of feminism that the main thing about men that women hate is that they are not women.

You can't get to be a general or an admiral without congressional approval. This means that the military is often the first organization to have idiotic social ideology forced on it by leaders seeking to advance their own careers.

Satan sets the course of this world (insofar as God allows him). In the Soviet Union and in Nazi Germany, the military was held in check by the presence of political officers. When you consider that today every TV program has a male lead character criticized, instructed, reviewed and directed by a woman, it would seem that Satan has found away to apply this technique of control at an individual level. This would not have been possible without first weakening the family and the influence of fathers.

Since Satan cannot be everywhere at once, he needs to guide the world into a socialist heiarchical control system to leverage his influence. Public education, employment corporations, and a pervasive government are all tools he uses to insure docile, compliant, and willing components in his global collective.

The person that the Lord draws to Himself will not find a comfortable home in the world that Satan is rapidly making. For this reason consideration should be given to thinking in terms of living on the fringe of this world and eagerly waiting for the Lord's return. If you cry out for wisdom, the Lord can help you see what is happening and understand why it is happening.

You may want to keep an eye out for other Christians who also feel uncomfortable in this new world and minister to and receive ministry from each other. You may want to read about how Christians survived during the era of Stalin. If you did not approve of Communism, you were considered mentally ill. Secularism is a jealous god and does not tolerate any competition.

I'm suspicious with things like this.
I took an aptitude test after inquiring at a particular college for education in electronics. The counselor was called and led me to a room with a table where he presented me with a rather lengthy questionnaire. It took a while to complete but the counselor made his analysis in much less time than it took me to do the test.
He told me I'd be better suited for clerical work since I had a head for numbers, organization, blah, blah, blah. I'm thinking, "what?" but didn't say anything until he began showing me the courses the college had to offer that were in his estimation the fields of study I should pursue to take full advantage of my particular strengths etc which in no way was suited for electronics.

It finally dawned on me what was going on. I told him I wasn't here to enroll for a 4 year term for a degree but rather that the electronics company I'd been working for during the past 6 years thought it best I get a "refresher" course in microprocessors/programming since I was employed in their test engineering department and to update the electronics degree I already held.

Yeah well... I've taken a few of them tests... and I don't trust a one of them.

Thing is, psychiatry is a business and like any business, it's primary goal is to bring in the cash. Even a non-profit organization needs to bring in cash. Like it or not, without a means of cash flow, a business just doesn't do too well regardless of it's motive.

Now then, what does one have to do to run a successful business? Well, in psychiatry they have to sell a service and in order to sell a service, there has to be a market for that service. Now then... why is your psycological eval so depressing? Man, sounds like you've really got some issue that need to be worked on John.

Here's the deal John, and I know this to be true. I can ask you a set of questions in a way that will return a result that I am seeking and affirms an area of expertise that I'm fully aware of. Now, if I ask you, "Do you get angry when somebody dishonors you?". If you say yes, I can say that you have an anger issue. If you say no, I can say that you have low self esteem and depending on how you answer any other questions, I may even be able to say that your passive aggressive. It really depends on how I want to exploit your emotions and intellect.

Take for example:

"Loner" mentality; avoidance of social situations
Appear to others as remote, aloof, and unengaged

Why is it that you seem to be a great greeter for new members on this forum? You don't seem very much like a "Loner" or "unengaged" to me. However, I'll bet you that I could ask you a series of questions where it would be very much appropriate to receive those types of responses.

Tell you what, if you want an evaluation, contact the guys at http://www.nouthetic.org/ and see what they come up with.

Take care,
Jeff

In simple terms, as Christians we are to live by the new nature and not according to the flesh... being born again, although some things are just natural characteristics of our personality type. This should pretty much cancel out that psych list. :amen

PS>> I agree with Jeff.. and psychics also apply those same techniques in different ways.
