Given the fact she has no training in psychology, what she did was simply give her personal opinion on the mental well being of her colleagues. This is a bloody insane thing to do from a leadership perspective. It obviously isn't TJ's fault as she is just trying her best but Young has really lost the plot on this one.
    I completely agree that TJ's "interviews" in no way constitute psych evals, but to be honest... I felt really bad for TJ. As soon as Young gave her that order I thought "how the heck would she know how to do a psych eval?" Based on undergraduate psychology courses, I would have no idea where to start, so I sympathized with TJ's attempts to muddle through it. Not only does she have to try to accomplish Young's orders, but she has no one (as far as we know) who will listen to her talk about how she's handling things.

    Young was expecting too much of TJ. I understand Young's motives, but it just showed that he really had no idea how difficult it would be for TJ to do anything close to a real psych eval. I almost got the feeling that Young doesn't know much about psychology or put much stock in it, but he gave the order because it seemed like the thing to do from a human resources standpoint. All in all, a weird decision from Young, but it provided some good character development for TJ and I hope they follow up on how her "evaluations" go with the rest of the crew.

    Hallowed are the Optimi.
