Imagine that we make a 3rd category of test: 1. sighted, 2. dbt,
3. you can't see it, but we tell you what it is. Would this affect
the outcome?

IOW, what is it about blind testing that makes it so stressful, and
the results unacceptable?

Let us just say for example you were taking a test to see
which of two pretty girls you preferred, by seeing them in
different circumstances in different pictures. No problem
picking now is it?

Now imagine picking to see which of two nice girls you prefer.
And both were former girlfriends. You were being tested
for your emotional and other reactions. Would this be different
from the other preference test? Do you see the difference?
Can emotions in general be switched up or down and back
and forth during DBT's?
