Was he trying to trick me?

So not really important, but might be helpful for someone going to an IME. This was my second IME. So throughout the exam he kept having me sit on the table, then stand up and do something, then sit back down, then get up, etc. Finally at the end he goes “okay the exam is over, do you need help getting up from the table? Here let’s get you a step stool”. I declined and got up like I had on my own like I did the other 5 times. Here’s my question: was he trying to trick me to see if I was exaggerating?
