So, when the psychiatrist says 'Skyfall', he actually wanted to check if he had moved on from their death or not. After failing the tests, he continues on his mission that computer scene where they tell him go to China because Patrice is there only after M gives the go-ahead.
Once you watch the movie you'll come to know that the word Skyfall refers to Bond's ancestral house in Scotland, where his parents died a supposedly tragic death. The reaction to this word walking out of the room and quitting the test eventually leads to Bond failing the test and the evaluator adding a remark of "Personal Childhood Trauma".

Stefan Stefan I believe this is the right answer, however one other interpretation which had not occurred to me before was that Bond was saying Skyfall is done - it's in the past or so he thought.
That is an interesting idea! Was there ever any indication that he didn't move on from their death? Maybe I missed it but I don't think so.
I have a feeling that Bond clawing his way into the more "artistic" categories will require a few more films of Skyfall 's caliber, to the point where he becomes impossible to ignore. Either that, or a movie set in a single room in a historical period where Bond struggles with a personality disorder while a tiger watches him sing his plan to rescue hostages from an embassy and kill the world's most wanted terrorist. Anyway, let's look at the five categories where Skyfall did receive a nomination and guess how good its chances are for winning the first Oscar since A proviso that these predictions are based on my own entirely un-scientific method that results in me usually placing fourth in my office Oscar pool.
Along with Skyfall 's theme song, this was considered the most likely slot for Bond's Oscar hopes. Roger Deakins has been nominated nine times previously without a win - he's becoming the Susan Lucci of cinematographers -- which makes recognition long overdue. Richardson and Kaminski are both previous winners.
This award will tend to go to whichever movie is sweeping its way through to Best Picture, unless the images are so out there and groundbreaking as to be something never seen before. So as remarkable as Deakins' work on Skyfall was, I think there are a couple of factors working against him: Skyfall was shot digitally, and Academy voters are biased towards old-fashioned film. Also, because Skyfall is not up for any major awards, it will tend to be forgotten amidst the other, more nominated contenders.
Unless there is a groundswell sympathy vote for Deakins, I'm guessing here that he makes it an even 0-for, with Kaminski or Miranda the more likely choices for the podium. Thomas Newman, like his more famous cousin Randy, is a perennial Oscar nomination favourite, now on his eleventh waiting for that first win, and I'm not thinking he's likely to get it for Skyfall either, unless, like Deakins, he gets a sympathy vote. I actually wasn't that impressed with Skyfall 's score, as it seems to wander without focus and without, disappointingly, the haunting emotional moments Newman has been able to craft in his past work.
Simply put -- if Newman didn't win for the vastly superior American Beauty or The Shawshank Redemption, he's not going to win for this. His nomination is much like Marvin Hamlisch's for The Spy Who Loved Me , which is the sparest and weakest of any of Hamlisch's many scores -- an acknowledgement of a highly-respected colleague because he's a good guy rather than for the quality of the specific work.
For the winner, I'll guess Dario Marinelli for Anna Karenina , because it's a fancy dress period drama, and the score likely evokes the classical music of the era, which is always a plus for Academy voters.
No matter how many times they explain it, no one understands the difference between this category and Best Sound Mixing, in which Skyfall is also nominated. As far as I can tell, sound editing is more about sound effects, like explosions, bullets flying, high-tech doors opening and so on, which is why blockbusters that wouldn't otherwise be anywhere within the Academy's field of view tend to win here. Skyfall could get tossed a bone here, but I'm going with Zero Dark Thirty because it's also a high-tech thriller that has the advantage of being based in reality -- and the Academy always goes with reality over fiction.
They seem to consider it more of an achievement to be true to a historical event -- creativity within constraints, as it were -- rather than having free reign to make stuff up, no matter how big the explosions are. Skyfall hasn't a chance here. Like cinematography, this one generally goes to whichever movie is on its way to Best Picture.
Of the fellow nominees, Argo, Les Miserables, Life of Pi and Lincoln, I'd favour Les Miz here; because it's a musical and has achieved renown for having the actors sing live instead of lip-synching, viewers i. Oscar voters are more aware of the sound and thus more likely to propel it over the top. Get used to saying "Academy Award winner Adele," because when all is said and done, this is Skyfall 's one indisputable lock for Oscar night.
Adele has already won more awards than any other female singer in recent memory, and the Oscar statuette will be seen as a fitting cap to her meteoric rise.
