Curious because it’s interesting - in what circumstances did your professor mean? Like don’t diagnose off-the-clock and/or someone whom you haven’t met, or? And is this related to criminal therapy or profiling (or something else entirely)?

Oh hey, sorry for the late reply! I hope you still catch this. I was training for criminal profiling/investigative psychology but the professor who said this meant it in the context of forensic psychology, or rather, the using your credentials as a forensic expert for providing "psychological assessments" in settings where you haven't conducted a proper analysis - like TV shows, documentaries, blogs and videos, and so on. IIRC there was an anecdote where a former student of his had been called to some talk show and spoken about a national celebrity's supposed psychopathic traits and indeed hat gotten sued for it and lost the case. It boils down to you can't really assess the personalities of people that you haven't properly analyzed in a clinical setting. Same goes with applying the HCR-20 or whatever measuring test for NPD for a celebrity based on videos and the like, you need to extract the information out of a clinical interview or it's, at best, invalid.
