Apparently the great problem of Psychological examinations is the difficulty in which the psychologist finds himself when examining his subject. Us human are too easily swayed by emotions and opinions and this prevents us from being able to analyse the brain and other humans as accurately as an emotionless, fact-fuelled computer would...

I'd have thought thats a pretty single eyed point of view from one sector isnt it? I'd have thought its a difference most prefer in an analyst checking into your emotional and mental state Thats the difference between us and computers we can feel what others tell us about their past or their future view of things which are the major stems of any problem;fear of one or the other, occuring or repeating.

That was precisely my point Andre, our ability to assess ourselves is restricted by our emotional involvement with the subject.
When a psychologist or psychiatrist undertakes an examination of a patient or subject, they must actively try to remain impartial and unattached from the subject. Should they succeed in remaining unaffected by the persons emotion or their own emotion, they also have to struggle with another conflict of interests. The opinions/mindset/morals and attitude may conflict with those of the person performing the analysis and this will alter the chemistry between the two people.
Comical example:
Psychologist is a PAC Fan.
Subject hates PAC.
Subject: I hate Manny Pacquaio and i wish he would die.
As this conflicts with the beliefs, emotions and sentiments held by the psychologist it may be diagnosed as.
