What this borderline personality inventory bpi 1017 measures
This borderline personality inventory bpi 1017 estimates self-reported borderline trait frequency signals patterns across four domains. Twenty-two original frequency items group into mood swings, abandonment fear, identity confusion, impulsive urges. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your borderline traits index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed borderline trait frequency signals on this screener, not a clinical diagnosis.
