Assessment Report
Personality Disorder Screening — Sample Profile
Screening Result

Score below the IPDE-SQ screening threshold for schizotypal features.
Score below the IPDE-SQ screening threshold for paranoid features.
Score at or above the IPDE-SQ screening threshold (≥3); suggests possible borderline features warranting further clinical evaluation.
Score below the IPDE-SQ screening threshold for histrionic features.
Score below the IPDE-SQ screening threshold for antisocial features.

What this means
Severity is reported per subscale below.
A positive screen is not a diagnosis. Interpretation should be made by a qualified clinician in the context of a full assessment.
About This Measure
A 77-item True/False screening instrument derived from the International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE; Loranger, 1999). Provides subscale scores across 10 DSM-IV personality disorder categories. A score of 3 or more on any subscale indicates possible features warranting a structured clinical follow-up. This is a screening tool only and does not establish a diagnosis.
