I also press F, but for grading the author, not as a sign of respect.
It doesn’t exactly inspire confidence into the reliability of expert assessments, when this is the kind of textbook used to train them.
Pay special attention to the last statement before the question - “He is doing well in school and has a girlfriend who is also a medical student.” This sentence is there to tell you that the student in question does not have a disorder; his life is going fine. Answers A, B, D, and E are all disorders, and answer C is “traits”, not a disorder. Ergo, the correct answer is C.
gf = no disorder
“which disorder do they most likely have”
This is a typical type of question in higher level studies, where the scenario given is intentionally inconclusive to measure your ability to determine what path may warrant further investigation.
The correct answer is C. Not because it’s a diagnosis, but if there were to be a diagnosis, that would be most likely
Isn’t it b? This sounds like a real life example of the test I was given for ocpd.
- diagnosed in early 20s,
- obsessed with lists,
- workaholic to the point that you can’t socialize,
- doesn’t trust the work of others, and
- appears successful to outsiders because they’re obsessed with perfection.
Not a medical student but graduated with a professional degree. This is the way.
To add to that, one of my professors back in college said of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders that medical and pharmacy students may reflect the symptom profile of the disorder during their studies just to get by. Sounds to me like this is the perspective this professor is demonstrating in this question.
Yeah that sounds totally normal. Sounds like he has everything under control. He’s actually organized, making lists and shit. He enjoys what he does. He has a girlfriend, so clearly he’s not a total hermit. He just chooses not to spend time with collegues. That sounds like a normal well-organized person
