hellziggyI feel all tested out...
I had my ADD appointment this morning and I took the number clicky test, an IQ test, a knowledge test, the Stroop color word test, a copy the drawing on the card test, a psychological test (like a mini MMPI) and then the clicky test again...
The clicky test is one to test your attention, both visual & audio. The computer in a random pattern will either display a 1 or 2 or say 1 or 2 out loud and you have to click the mouse only when it is a one. This test lasts for like 15 minutes and it is insanely boring!
Then, because 3 hours of tests didn't feel like enough, I stopped in the testing center at MCTC and finally took the stupid reading comprehension test. I have over 50 credits that have transferred. I've taken 27 credits at MCTC and maintained a 4.0 GPA. And yet, I wasn't able to register for any classes outside the graphics program because they didn't believe that I could read. So I took the test, scored the highest placement possible and will now hopefully be able to register for classes like a normal person.
I think now it is time to nap on the couch.

Date: 2005-06-23 03:15 am (UTC)I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder about 7 years ago, which totally explained lots of things about my life. About a year ago I started having problems with my productivity levels at work. I kept telling them which stuff I could do better at and which stuff I couldn't ever do at the required speed. Even though they knew I had ADD, they didn't start giving me the stuff I was good at until I mentioned the Americans with Disabilities Act when I was in a meeting with Human Resources. Things got better at that point, but I made the appointment with the ADD clinic anyway so I could get more up to date tests & also get a more current diagnosis on file with HR at work.
