About BPD Test

BPD Test helps adults make sense of their experiences through a brief screening, a personal report and practical learning resources. We want each explanation to show where it came from and each next step to be something you can use.

What the site provides

  • • the ten-item MSI-BPD screening with a clear explanation
  • • personal context, answer evidence and a practical next step
  • • source-backed introductions to symptoms, assessment, treatment, and recovery
  • • links to professional and crisis resources

How to use it well

  • • start with the experiences and impact that matter to you
  • • use the screening result as one starting point for a fuller conversation
  • • choose what to save, print or share with someone you trust
  • • find professional or immediate support when that is what you need

How the questions and report work

Prompt design

The core reproduces the ten English MSI-BPD questions with Yes/No responses. Follow each question’s wording; we do not add a three-month limit. Before the report, original personal questions explore recent context, intensity, recovery time, daily-life impact, an example, easier moments and barriers to change. They are separate from the standardized core.

How summaries are calculated

Each Yes adds one point to the 0–10 screening count. We describe the original study’s threshold of 7, without treating it as a diagnosis, probability or severity grade. Missing items prevent a standard score. Five reading groups help explain the answers; they are not validated subscales. Personal details select relevant explanations and actions without altering the score.

Safety boundary

The MSI-BPD includes a question about past harm. A separate check asks about current safety and is never scored or saved. Help remains accessible before you finish and regardless of your screening count.

Data boundary

Answers and notes stay in this tab unless you choose browser saving. The application does not send them to an external AI service or include them in analytics or advertising events. Advertising and analytics still load as described in our Privacy Policy.

Editorial process

Educational pages prioritize primary public-health and clinical-guideline sources, currently including the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health and NICE. Sources are linked beside the claims they support or in a clearly labeled source section.

The screening research supports the instrument in its studied populations. It does not validate this entire website, the original personal questions or the report as a clinical assessment. We describe that distinction and keep examples clearly fictional.

Clinical review of this site’s original report content has not yet been completed. We will identify the reviewer and scope when a documented review is available. Content corrections can be sent to [email protected].

Sources and interpretation

The original MSI-BPD study involved adults with treatment histories; its results should not be treated as a personal accuracy percentage or a universal result across languages and populations. A score can help start a conversation about history, daily functioning and other possible explanations.

Our event notes and communication tools are original educational exercises, informed by the value of organizing an experience and preparing a conversation. They are not a complete DBT program or a validated treatment. Old version 2 reports retain their original frequency-based interpretation and are not converted to MSI-BPD scores.
