What does it mean to be called disambiguous?

Asked by talljasperman (21919points) February 10th, 2011

A psychiatrist said I was “disambiguous” and wouldn’t explain what it was…What did he mean?

Why would he explain? That is what you are paying them to do! It can mean a lot of things and I would google it and see if any of the def’s you find fit your situation.

He is your employee and paid to be unambiguous. Call him on this, politely.

Nasty, this.

From Answerbag.com.

closed minded, not open to ideas. Always certain your way is the “only” way.

I’m going to guess (because I can’t actually find a reference to this term in a psychological context) that it means “uncomfortable with ambiguity”. Maybe the shrink was calling this trait to your attention by reusing to explain this very ambiguous term.

Ask him what he “really means” by that.

Are you sure he didn’t say disingenuous?

“Disambiguous” does not appear in either my real or cyber dictionaries, FWIW.

For what it’s worth.
