title: Reliability of categorical and dimensional judgments of personality disorder.
abstract: To investigate interrater reliability on categorical and dimensional judgments of personality disorder, five clinicians completed five different judgment tasks for each of 10 case vignettes. The reliability estimates support previously unconfirmed statements that dimensional judgments are substantially more reliable than categorical diagnoses.
