You are bound to 'find' that BPD is overrepresented here by surveying in this manner. (hint: medical student syndrome)

I could repeat this poll in a venue where the people are similarly prone to medical student syndrome, but not as prone to filling some kind of void with rationality or other epiphanies. That would provide a baseline for comparison. But I don't yet know where exactly I would find such a venue.

I am curious about whether Borderline Personality Disorder is overrepresented on LessWrong compared to the general population.

Is Wikipedia's article on BPD a good description of your personality any time in the past 5 years? For the sake of this poll, ignore the specific "F60.31 Borderline type" minimum criteria.
