Tests don't make a diagnosis. They are a tool. One of many.

So suddenly tests don't make a diagnosis even though Dr. D. used the wrong test to diagnose her with borderline?
You are quoting Dr. Geffner, by the way, that is exactly what he said.
But, he also said, the tests will give you data points and you look for consistentancy and accuracy.
And, the MCMI said she has NO personality disorders and it is a test which also determines its own accuracy which was high in this case.
But, she also tested high for LOTS of problems in the area of anxiety.
She is not a borderline. She is not a psychopath. But she shows every evidence of high functioning autism, IMO.
"You will not apply my precept," he said, shaking his head. "How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth? We know that he did not come through the door, the window, or the chimney. We also know that he could not have been concealed in the room, as there is no concealment possible. When, then, did he come?"
