[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 273073, member: 1514"] DDD...exactly! She kept telling me that I did the tests correctly but that I had this "processing deficit" thing that she couldnt quite figure out. She wants to attribute it to test anxiety. I never in my life had test anxiety! I took a test for being an Air Traffic Control operator one time and thought it was an aptitude test. Got there and found out it was for people who had either worked in the Air Force or had flown planes! I was neither of those. I took the test anyway and passed it with a score high enough to be considered for hire! I do well on standardized tests. Always have and so do all my kids. People also have built in ideas about what I can do now based on what I have always been able to do...and based on this testing one would think I could still do it. According to this testing I should still be able to pay the bills, remember things, do the taxes, learn something, remember where I put the mail...even go to work. Oh hell no. I cant even be relied on to accurately count money anymore. I consistently miscount twenty dollar bills when I try to put them up to save them. I will count a pile of money and I am always off by at least 80 to 120. If I try to count backwards to figure out how much I should have left...I get lost. I constantly forget bill dates. And the taxes...omg...I cant even attempt them anymore. And I ran the VITA table when I was in school.
