Shows how many signs of borderline personality you notice in yourself. It is a screening, not a diagnosis, and only helps you decide whether to talk to a professional.
The McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-BPD) was developed by Mary Zanarini and colleagues (2003). Its 10 yes-or-no questions follow the DSM-IV criteria for borderline personality disorder. Each yes adds 1 point, for a total from 0 to 10.
This is not a diagnosis
A short screening cannot diagnose borderline personality disorder. A professional does that in an interview, and the same experiences can also come from depression, trauma or other conditions.
