Interpretive Text
Based on the response from Item 24, this individual rated their
overall wellbeing as 40 out of 100.

Based upon the total average score being at or above the cutoff
score of 1.50, this individual's responses are consistent with
responses seen in BPD.

Scoring and Interpretation Information

The average score of items (range 0 to 4, sum of scores divided by
23) is calculated, with a higher score indicating more impairment.
Six grades of symptom severity were defined by Kleindienst et al.
(2020) based upon the average score:

- None/Low: 0 - 0.3
- Mild: 0.3 - 1.1
- Moderate: 1.1 - 1.9
- High: 1.9 - 2.7
- Very High: 2.7 - 3.5
- Extremely High: 3.5 - 4
Scores of 1.50 or higher indicates the responses are consistent with
BPD, with empirical data showing this cutoff score is able to
discriminate between BPD patients and clients with other clinical
psychopathology (e.g. anxiety disorders, major depressive
disorders, schizophrenia, etc.; Kleindienst et al., 2020).

Percentiles are also presented comparing the respondents scores to

a healthy group (n = 356; with no history of psychopathology) and a
BPD group (n = 317; met DSM-V diagnostic criteria for BPD;
Kleindienst et al. 2020). A percentile of 50 means that the client has
scored at the typical level compared with the comparative group. An
average score of 1.5 corresponds to a percentile of 17 compared to
the BPD group, and a percentile of 99.9 compared to the healthy

control group. These metrics indicate that a score of 1.5 is typical for
someone with BPD but highly extreme compared to someone
without a psychiatric diagnosis.

There is an additional question (24) that provides an indication of

the client’s perspective on their overall well-being, but it is not
included in the overall score. The rating on this last question (from 0
to 100) is strongly correlated with specific indicators of wellbeing for
BPD patients, including self-perception, affect regulation, self-
destruction, dysphoria, loneliness, intrusions, and hostility (Bohus, et
al., 2007).
