Borderline (BPD) Traits Test
Assess your traits of emotional and relational instability
How to read your scores
Each dimension is scored out of its own maximum (e.g. 16/25 = 16 points out of 25 for that dimension). The higher the score, the more that dimension is present. Below each bar, a label (low / moderate / high) and a clinical interpretation explain what your score means. The overall score sums every dimension.Overall score

Very high — "Impulsivity": this facet is very marked. This result is a trait screening, not a diagnosis — only a professional can determine that.

- ✓Introduction
This test assesses TRAITS of emotional and relational instability (borderline register), inspired by the McLean Screening Instrument for BPD (Zanarini, 2003, a screening tool) and the PID-5: emotional lability, fear of abandonment, instability of relationships and self-image, impulsivity. It is SCREENING, never a diagnosis: borderline self-diagnosis is widespread and often wrong.

- ✓Disclaimer
This test is a trait SCREENING tool, NOT a diagnosis, and it screens for no illness. Only a qualified mental health professional can assess these difficulties after a full clinical interview.
