A discussion on personality disorders (F6) is conducted within the framework of the Research Criteria Study on the basis of one case each of borderline syndrome (F60.31), transsexualism (F64.0), and factitious disorder (F68.1). In the Research Criteria Study the main agreement achieved about personality disorders was 77%, for borderline disorders 94%, transsexualism 91%, and factitious disorders 53%. Additional diagnoses were given in the case of factitious disorder by 43%, for borderline disorders in 15%, and for transsexualism in only 3%. Alternative diagnoses improved the overall agreement about factitious disorders by 21%, about borderline disorders and about transsexualism by 3%. It appears justified to introduce a coding for an alternative main diagnosis. The diagnostic concepts are discussed with respect to practicality, suitability, adequacy and reliability. The raters felt fairly secure about the classification. The research diagnostic criteria proved to be very practical. The raters attributed a high reliability to ICD-10 and, with the exception of factitious disorders, a very valid image of patients.

D001883	Borderline Personality Disorder	A personality disorder marked by a pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affects, and marked impulsivity beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts.

D015203	Reproducibility of Results	The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D015588	Observer Variation	The failure by the observer to measure or identify a phenomenon accurately, which results in an error. Sources for this may be due to the observer's missing an abnormality, or to faulty technique resulting in incorrect test measurement, or to misinterpretation of the data. Two varieties are inter-observer variation (the amount observers vary from one another when reporting on the same material) and intra-observer variation (the amount one observer varies between observations when reporting more than once on the same material).
