Okay so I saw this Quick Bpd Quiz thing floating around last week. Honestly? I was kinda curious. Kept hearing people throw around “BPD” like confetti online. Figured why not click through it myself before bedtime.
Where I Found It
Scrolling Instagram between coding breaks when some mental health account’s reel popped up. Plain white background, pink text saying “Spot BPD Signs Fast.” No fancy diagrams, just promised ten yes/no questions. Took five seconds to think – “eh, free coffee break activity.”
Doing The Actual Quiz
Clicked the link in bio. First question hits you cold:
- Question 1: “Do you smash stuff when mad?” Hell no. Not since throwing my Nokia back in ‘07. Clicked NO.
- Question 2: “Feel empty inside daily?” Felt dramatic. Like… sometimes after bad Zoom calls? But daily? Uhh… tapped SOMETIMES.
- Question 3: “Change hobbies every month?” Laughed. My garage full of abandoned paint supplies and Arduino kits answered that. YES guilty.
Got progressively weirder. One asked if I threatened suicide during fights. Felt invasive honestly. Skipped that crap. Another about idealizing then hating people – remembered my chaotic college roommate phase. Cringed while clicking YES.
What Happened After
Finished in maybe four minutes. Site flashed “Moderate BPD Traits Detected” with rainbow fonts like a carnival prize. No explanations, just told me to seek therapy ASAP. Wild. Closed the tab feeling… nothing really? Like ordering fast food and getting lukewarm fries.
My Real Takeaway
Biggest surprise was how random it felt. Half those questions could apply to anyone surviving tax season. Felt like one of those BuzzFeed “Which Avenger Are You?” quizzes but with mental health stickers slapped on.
Showed it to my therapist cousin later. She rolled her eyes saying “These things should ask about consistent patterns, not random angry moments”. Made sense. Guess I’ll stick with getting actual help from humans. Still – interesting to see how these viral quizzes frame things.
