Abstract
BackgroundThis study looks at the “bright-side” normal, personality trait correlates of the “dark-side” Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).MethodsOver 5000 British adults completed the NEO-PI-R which measures the Big Five Personality factors at the Domain and the Facet level, as well as the Hogan Development Survey which has a measure of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) called Excitable.ResultsCorrelation and regression results confirmed many of the associations between these “bright” and “dark” side individual difference variables. The Excitable score from the HDS was the criterion variable in all analyses. Excitable individuals are high on Neuroticism, but also Introverted and Disagreeable. The facet analysis identified Angry Hostility, Anxiety, Depression and Vulnerability as particularly characteristic of that type.ConclusionsThe study confirmed work on BPD using different population groups and different measures, showing that it is possible to describe personality disorders in terms of extreme scores on personality traits.

Summary
This study looks at the “bright-side” normal, personality trait correlates of the “dark-side” Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). This study looks at “bright side” personality correlates of the “dark side” trait Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). It examines the relationship between “normal” personality traits measured at the Domain (Super Factor) and Facet (Factor) level, and BPD called Excitable. This study looks at the association between sub-clinical BPD and Domains and Facets of the Big Five personality traits currently the most well used and considered measure and conception of personality in psychological research on personality and individual differences. For many years there was little rapprochement between psychologists working on personality traits and psychiatrists working on the personality disorders. There have been significant developments in both fields with differential psychologists and psychiatrists widely accepting the Five Factor Model of personality [2,3]
