Are you wondering, “Do I have BPD?” If so, this test is for you. This test is not a substitute for an official diagnosis or mental health support from a qualified individual. Instead, this is a fast, online, free assessment that can gauge the likelihood of you having Borderline Personality Disorder. BPD is a complex disorder that cannot be summed up in these 10 questions; however, these questions are pulled from the DSM-5, the diagnostic criteria that therapists use when diagnosing Borderline Personality Disorder and other mental health conditions. Therefore, it’s a good tool to understand your behavior, emotions, and reactions.

BPD is characterized by rapid mood swings, difficulty in interpersonal relationships, trouble controlling their emotions, and a flawed sense of self. People with BPD commonly struggle with self-esteem and their self-image. This, paired with erratic mood shifts, can make it difficult for them to maintain healthy, stable relationships.
The exact cause of BPD isn’t clear, but it is thought to be caused by a mix of genetics and environmental factors. The vast majority of people with BPD suffered some form of childhood trauma, which is likely linked to the formation of the personality disorder.
Treating BPD is possible. It will take time and a commitment to a treatment plan, but people living with the personality disorder can find freedom from the most debilitating symptoms. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a primary method used and has been proven effective at treating BPD. Acceptance and Commitment therapy and schema therapy are also vital in improving someone with BPD’s sense of self and how they control their behavior and narrative.
If you think you have BPD but don’t score highly on this test, it’s worth it to talk to a mental health professional. One, 10-question test cannot fully summarize the entire extent of living with BPD. You may have experiences outside of these questions that were not measured. This test is meant to be a tool and starting point. If you did not score highly but still think you have BPD or a different mental health disorder, talking to a therapist is a good first step.
