Purpose for evaluation:
Jack was admitted for evaluation one week ago after months spent on an island with many other stranded school boys, in this report I will cover what I believe to be true about Jack's personality and mental state.
Background Information:
Both Jack's mother and father work as lawyers in 'H&G Lawyers' in London. From a young age Jack has always tried to be in charge and better than his peers.

His grandparents both died before he was born and neither his mother or farther have siblings.
Jack hasn't been examined nor sent to any mental institute/Psychiatric clinic.

Although, even with this intelligence...
