probably a good idea, anyway. neuropsyche testing, they tell me, is best when comparing you to you, instead of comparing you to stats.

take the psyche part w a grain of salt, tho. make sure they are using a new instrument that comports w the latest dsm. there has been substantial change on issues of physical pain.

my testing put my mind at ease somewhat. i still feel like i am getting serious senioritis, but at least i am still well above average.
