I know. Once you can prescribe drugs let me know, we can do business.

Narcissistic, b/s!!
My fiance did the test too, answered yes to some of them, but got all lows. Damn, if she is normal, what are the crazy ones like?

No one has survived to answer that....

Let's hope the former. Psychologists are the scum of the earth.

I was actually going to go in for that ( believe it or not ) up until about four months ago when I realised I didn't want to sit through four years of medical school for something I might not even enjoy doing in the end.

Good times.

I'd have preferred the test if the responses were on a 1-9 scale rather than a boolean scale. I kept feeling compelled to answer "yes" even when the answer was really "a little bit, I s'pose."

And lose their license which took them at least seven years to get if they don't do so responsibly.

Now, as a writer, not only am I free to buy drugs but I don't lose the ability to work in my chosen field by a conviction.

The downside is most writers will make a tiny fraction of what a Psychiatrist will make.

Seven lows? What are you, fresh-water shrimp?

Your wife got all lows? Is she clinically dead? Or just saintly?

Jesus christ.... do you really want to get married to someone that sane?

You get what you work for. Being a doctor takes ( in this country at least ) five years of med school and two more years working in a hospital before they are allowed to officially practice. For a lawyer it's something similar.

While you factor in the fact that I'd be bored in both ( and probably hopelessly depressed ) I'm willing to put up with a little poverty.

And if the worst comes to the worst I have good enough grades that, should writing not work for me, I can always bite the bullet and hop into pretty much any law faculty I want. MAWAHAHAHAH!
