The Clinical Background

A Test Designed For Accurate BPD Screening

This self-screening test includes questions about your emotions, relationships, and patterns of behaviour to help you better understand your symptoms.

It’s designed to assess how often these patterns show up in your relationships and daily life. Your results won’t confirm a diagnosis, but they’ll indicate whether it’s worth exploring further.

Developed at a Leading Research Hospital

Adapted from a validated scale developed at McLean Hospital, affiliated with Harvard Medical School.

An Indicator, Not a Diagnosis

Your score highlights whether your symptoms warrant a closer look. Only a qualified professional can diagnose BPD.

What Comes Next

If your results suggest possible BPD, Elyséa HEALTH can connect you with a psychiatrist for a comprehensive in-person assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions people often have before taking a borderline personality disorder screening test.

Why does this test ask about self-harm and impulsivity?

These are core features clinicians look for when assessing BPD, alongside patterns in relationships, identity, and mood. Including them helps the screening reflect the full clinical picture, not just emotional intensity.

Yes. BPD symptoms can overlap with bipolar disorder, PTSD, and depression, which is one reason a formal assessment by a psychiatrist is important for an accurate diagnosis.

If you’re in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or go to your nearest emergency department. This test isn’t a substitute for urgent support.

You’ll meet with one of our psychiatrists for a detailed, confidential conversation about your symptoms, history and what kind of support might help.
