- ABOUT THE TEST
The Clinical Basis For BPD Test
This self-screening tool draws on principles from the McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-BPD), developed at Harvard Medical School's McLean Hospital and widely used as a first-line screening tool.
BPD isn't just about mood; it touches identity, relationships and impulsivity too. This test looks across all of these areas rather than focusing on emotional intensity alone, since that's usually only part of the picture.
Grounded in Clinical Research
Built on the MSI-BPD, developed at McLean Hospital and used by clinicians as a first-line screen.
A Starting Point, Not a Label
Your score flags whether these patterns are worth exploring further, not a definition of who you are.
A Clear Way Forward
If your results suggest possible BPD, HelloDoc can connect you with a psychologist or psychiatrist for a proper assessment.

- FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A few honest answers before you begin your BPD screening test.
Is this BPD test a diagnosis?
No. This is a screening tool only. BPD can present differently from person to person and overlaps with other conditions; only a formal assessment with a qualified professional can confirm a diagnosis.
How long does the test take?
About 2 minutes for 10 questions. Go with your first instinct rather than second-guessing each answer; it’s usually the truest response.
What should I do if my score is high?
A higher score doesn’t confirm BPD, but if these patterns feel familiar, it’s worth exploring further. We’d recommend booking an assessment with one of our psychologists or psychiatrists.
