Any psychologists
>inb4 not science or math
or psychiatrists who could help me make sense of the observations I received from my doctors? I suffer from some motor disabilities and was sent to a mental hospital so I could also get my IQ and other such things evaluated to quantify my illness. Upon asking me a couple of random questions and talking to me for a bit, the psychologist gave me a sheet detailing my psychological profile (which was overwhelmingly positive) and an IQ of 107, apparently in the rage of "normal to superior intellect". How did she objectively come up with this number?
Then I was sent to the psychiatrist who, without even seeing me, popped back out of his office a couple of hours later with a piece of paper calling me mildly anxious, but also irascible, with "spontaneous speech and choleric tendencies", and a GAF score of 60 which, to my understanding, means I am mildly fucked in the head. What the hell is this? Does the GAF score also factor in my motor disabilities? I don't understand how it could possibly be so low and where the other info came from if the guy didn't even see me.
Could any mental health professional give me some insight on the "behind the scenes" things they might have done to come up with those numbers and assertions?
