Yup, very reliable. I personally recommended a tester. The only way they get up there is if parents who have used the psych liked the person.
BTW, about the "let the kid be a kid" comment--which always grinds my gears!--some here have had luck with calmly responding something to this effect: "I agree completely that we must let kids be themselves, since they're all unique individuals. MY unique child needs more challenge to be happy. Now, what can we do to serve her needs?"
Something like that...
Hang in there! It sounds like they're throwing up loads of roadblocks.
