Why do mental assessments always consists of the same 5 questions just worded differently?

274 views

I’ve taken a few different mental assessments and they all follow the same formula for the most part. One question will say “have you ever thought about cutting yourself” and then 14 questions later, “have you ever thought about harming yourself” and then some weird question right after like “do you like school?”

And it’s like 60 questions like this on the sheet it just seems so weird to me. Do people really not notice the pattern? Is it meant to be visible? Is there some psychology behind it?

I was diagnosed as schizophrenic a few years ago and every session with my counselor always begins and ends with are you going to hurt yourself or anyone else. Bitch it’s been years if I was I would have done it already
