The IDRlabs Borderline Personality

Disorder Spectrum Test (IDR-BPDST) was
developed by IDRlabs. The IDR-BPDST is
based on the work of Dr. Mary Zanarini
and her colleagues, who created the
McLean Screening Instrument for
Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-
BPD). The IDR-BPDST is not associated
with any specific researchers in the field
of psychopathology or any a!liated
research institutions.

The IDRlabs Borderline Personality Disorder

Spectrum Test was informed by the MSI-
BPD’s criteria for borderline personality
disorder, as published in Zanarini, Mary &
Vujanovic, A & Parachini, Elizabeth & Villatte,
Jennifer & Frankenburg, Frances & Hennen,
John. (2003). A screening measure for BPD:

has also informed some of the diagnostic
criteria in the form of the widely used
psychological instrument, the MSI-BPD, for
clinical use especially by qualified mental
health professionals. The present test is
intended for educational purposes only.
IDRlabs and the present IDRlabs Borderline

The Borderline Personality Disorder

Spectrum Test is based on a famous and
well-regarded inventory for the assessment
of the clinical concept of borderline
spectrum and other psychotic disorders.
However, free online tests and quizzes such
as this one are solely first takes and cannot
provide accurate assessments of your
potential condition. Hence, the test is
intended to be used for educational
purposes only. A definitive mental health
assessment can be made only by a qualified
mental health professional.
