Borderline Personality Scale
The Borderline Personality Scale (STB) is the second subscale of the Schizotypy Questionnaire (STA). It consists of 18 items measuring borderline personality traits in the general population. "Borderline" traits are considered those thought to reflect unstable responses and emotions, (such as anger together with ambivalence or self-destructive impulses), which overall resemble anti-social personality traits, as opposed to the more "schizophrenic" symptoms measured by the schizotypal scale (STA). The borderline and schizotypal subscales of the schizotypal questionnaire form part of the broader construct of psychoticism, as conceptualized best by Eysenck's Psychoticism (P) scale. Generally, results on the STA and STB scales are correlated with one another, but they are intended to measure separate aspects of psychoticism.
