Psychological evaluation



The psychological evaluation is an examination that Doc Mitchell performs on the Courier at the beginning of Fallout: New Vegas. During the tutorial quest, the psychological evaluation serves to mark the player character's tagged skills.

Background
During the quest "Ain't That a Kick in the Head" in Fallout: New Vegas, the player character participates in a psychological evaluation conducted by Doc Mitchell. The test consists of a sequence of thirteen questions split into three sections; word-association, personality profile, and Rorschach blot tests. The responses to these questions determine which three skills are recommended for them to tag.

Choosing "evil" answers exclusively in the first part of the test results in the doctor commenting that giving tests like these often reveal more than he'd hope, which isn't always a good thing. Following are the questions, answers, and which skill each counts towards tagging.

Behind the scenes

 * The inkblot test present by Doc Mitchell correspond to the real life Rorschach test.
 * The Two-Bears-High-Fiving character is a direct reference to a Fallout: New Vegas mod that changes one of the available choices of the last inkblot prompt to "two bears high-fiving."
