If it was Ross, it might be the DES. I took that and it said I didn't dissociate to any significant degree. You can find that one on the internet by typing Dissociative Experiences Scale into Google. That was the test the EMDR therapist gave me that had me in tears of frustration because I wasn't sure what they meant.
The SCID-D I just ordered from Amazon. It didn't ask if I was a professional, although admittedly the packaging did say for professionals only. How about professional self researchers? lol.
But they're all self reporting tests, so you're right. It doesn't take a genius to tell what they're getting at. And you could probably answer to get it to tell you whatever you wanted.
I don't think it opened up any new ideas or insights for me. I don't have trouble with amnesia, I do have problems with derealization and depersonalization. I had figured it all out already.
Too bad about student services. But there are some places here that have sliding scales for treatment. Maybe the student counselling office could steer you to one.
