Took Psychological Written Test Now Have To See Doctor

[grayr]

I took this test for employment and it was a true or false type question test.
The directions stated try to answer everything but if you feel something does not include you leave it blank. Questions that were like "I seldom get sick to my stomach over worries". Well I left them blank. I really do not get sick to my stomach about problems. Now I have to see a doctor so I can keep employment with the agency I started with. I have never had any issues but I'm worried that they may try and poke and then make small things bigger. Anyone have any suggestions or things I should look out for. I am not at all trying to cover anything up but I know these folks can sometimes ask things like did your parents get divorced when you were young and then open you up for all kinds of bull. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Why would you have not marked the question true?

[grayr]

I don't get sick to my stomach when I worry. Not even seldom. So I did like the instructions said. I left it blank. If I would have said true I would be saying I seldom. I do not even seldom so here is where I guess I screwed up.
I read too much into it.

No kidding. Does your internal biology work different from all other living humans? This is a natural part of human biology... :confused:

if its true that you dont the poly must have been cake for you. By the way the only way i know of not to feel that way is there is actually a medical conditon where people lack the ability to be scared.

Classic example of why people have troubles with psychologicals. Not because they're disturbed per se, but because they read into the question too much.

I look foward to my psych, basically from the dept i am applying with if they pay for the psych exam as long as you pass ur in

Everyone gets those feelings ofcourse. You failed to pay attention to detail and read what was asked. I was asked not if I got feelings in my stomach but if I got sick to my stomach when I had PROBLEMS. Not when I get nervous for example. I never mentioned anything like I never get sick. Just not when a problem arises? Yes you could say situations of danger are problems and yes you should feel something but I do not get sick to my stomach when I have problems such as domestic, financial or problems at the workplace. Which is what the question intends to cover. Today I went to the shrink and he cleared me. I am now clear to continue employment with Customs and Border Protection. Good luck on your test and evaluation.

With this attitude, you're not getting hired. Try Wal-Mart.

Sorry buddy. I do not need to try Walmart. I already have the job and you are not the one that makes the decision so sorry Walmart will not be on my plans for today. I do not know what you do but I doubt it's in law enforcement. I do not see anything wrong with what I stated. This is not my first law enforcement job. First with Border Patrol but anyway have a good day.

ok i can see where this thread is going reall quick. First grayr, you shouldnt really disrespect the verifieds on this site. Many of them make those comments when people come on here and have a negative attitude. But anyways, as for the original question. You shouldnt read into anything. The question was plain and simple. People mess up on these tests when they read into them. For instance "have you ever taken something from someone w/o permission? Ofcourse, almost everyone has taken maybe a candy on someones desk because its there for you to take. Ofcourse you wouldnt answer this question yes based SOLELY on that one incident. If you were border patrol, you should know, answer the question truthfully and let the chips fall in their place.

Does not matter. Not all those employed in the field know everything. It does not make his word Holy. Anyway I got the job so thanks for all the support. Must be great to know it all.
