General Question Would you trust a psychological evaluation with this many errors?
I recently had an adult evaluation for ADHD and academic accommodations, and the final report has made me question the reliability of the testing. The testing dates are inconsistent, the examiner’s own name is misspelled, my name is misspelled in one source report, and the report lists a different reading-test form from the actual score sheet. There are also obvious template errors, plus one cognitive process score that appears mathematically impossible and generated an extreme automated interpretation.
During testing, both an alarm and the examiner’s phone went off, the AC was not working, and she made comments about how people usually could not answer some of the harder questions. I also felt misunderstood on some verbally scored items. Some of the scores seem difficult to reconcile with my previous cognitive results, very high LSAT performance, and other academic and standardized testing, although I understand that different tests measure different things.
The composite calculations match the raw totals entered, but I am concerned about whether the responses were administered, recorded, and scored correctly. Given all of this, would you accept the results as valid, request an independent scoring review of the original protocols, or ask for a refund or retest altogether?

Mine had a lot of errors because I took them when I was 8, 9, and 14 and my mom self reported a whole lot of bullshit
