Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the BPD Traits Screening.

How long does the BPD Traits Screening take?

About 6 minutes on average. The test has 24 statements you rate on a scale, and most people complete it in 5–8 minutes.

What does the BPD Traits Screening measure?

It is informed by DSM-5 borderline criteria across four domains: emotional intensity, relationship instability, identity and emptiness, and impulsivity and anger. Your responses produce a trait band with guidance, including which therapies have the strongest evidence.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your responses are processed in your browser. We don't sell personal data and our practices comply with GDPR and CCPA. You can request export or deletion at any time.

Can I retake the BPD Traits Screening?

Yes β€” as often as you like. We recommend waiting at least 30 days between retakes for a meaningful comparison, since short-term mood and life events can shift your responses.

Is this a clinical diagnosis?

No. Personality disorders are diagnosed by a qualified clinician through a full assessment of a person’s history across contexts β€” never by a questionnaire. Traits in isolation are common and are not a disorder.
