How many CLEP tests do I need to take to get a doctorate in psychology?

I'm pretty much ticked off at colleges b/c they seem to think I can't go b/c I don't have money. I want to get a doctorate in psychology but if I can't go and get taught, I figure I might as well teach myself. I know 4 languages, have studied computer programming, martial arts, music, art and taken a course in hypnotherapy. I have a certification in electronics, love figuring things out. Please don't try to talk me out of this b/c frankly I hate the education system now. The only people who get to go are rich morons who aren't even interested half the time. Please provide me with what all I would need to do (without going to a college course) to obtain a doctorate in Psychology. Thanks :)
Answer:

CLEP tests are for introductory level classes only. They will not get you out of more than one course in a psychology major. You need a bachelors in psychology (about 12 psychology courses, along with a lot of other requirements), a masters (2 years of advanced courses) and a PhD (original research, 2-6 years) to earn a doctorate. There is no way to test out of any of that beside the very first course in the bachelors. That still leaves you 4 years of college to start with. Psychologists must have a license to practice (you'll get arrested if you try to work without one) and they cannot take the licensing exams without accredited (that means real) degrees in the field and many, many hours of practice with professionals.
