FWIW, The SL Trib wrote a good article on what Psychosexual evaluations are. There is one part of the test that Josh would not be able to talk his way out of or fake. It's a true measure of what someone is sexual attracted to.
IMO, Josh knew he wouldn't pass this one, not to mention the test being extremely invasive and humiliating. This was the end of the line for Josh.He was never going to get those boys back and the world would know he was a perv.

Besides undergoing a paper-and-pencil evaluation, Josh Powell may possibly be subjected to a penile plethysmograph — which measures the bloodflow to a penis. The plethysmograph is administered with a strain gauge, which measures an erection response while a person is shown slides and tapes of normal sexual behavior as well as deviant acts.
In the U.S., 58 percent of psychosexual evaluation programs include administering a penile plethysmograph, according to a 2009 survey from the Vermont-based Safer Society titled “Current Practices and Emerging Trends in Sexual Abuser Management.” In Washington, penile plethysmographs are a standard part of an evaluation, but not required, said Rebecca Roe, a Seattle attorney whose expertise includes personal injury cases for victims of violent crime and sexual assault.
“It certainly would be in the norm for people to use it. It would be a tool in the toolbox,” said Roe.
