I'm kind of annoyed that they seem to reflect real life in my house crazy.


I think your psych might have been the one I saw speak. He used that same phrase several times in his lecture! That was very much his point- if it's a low score it's a reflection of perfectionism if everything else is high. If it's a high score, well be happy your kid doesn't agonize over every answer. That was all he said you can use PSI for determining.
