Well, I wondered about the test results saying "a tendency to distort and exaggerate problems" and thought, now how does that show up in her self-assessment. That's why it would be interesting to see what your therapist thinks of it. Also, Masterson says that high level functioning borderlines make good therapists. So, yeah - I think you have potential. Read about Annie G. Rogers - if she can become a therapist (I think she may be a phsychologist even) then I think we can do it too. In fact, having our own dx actually can be an advantage. Builds rapport and credibility with clients.
