Aim of the study:
The aim of this study was to develop a specific version of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory 2 (IDCP-2), a self-reported measure developed in Brazil to pathological personality traits assessment, focused on the assessment of traits related to BPD in accordance to the HiTOP model.

Subject or material and methods:
. In step 1 we developed new factors to cover all the BPD traits according to HiTOP. In step 2, data were collected from 207 adults from the community (N = 207; Mage = 35.9). Participants completed the developed measure (IDCP Borderline Personality Disorder Scale; IDCP-BPD), and factors from IDCP-2, PID-5, FFBI, and FFHI.

Results:
Exploratory structural equation modeling (E-SEM) suggested a 3-solution for the grouping of the fifteen factors of the IDCP-BPD. Factors and total score reliability was good. Correlations between IDCP-BPD factors and external measures were coherent, corroborating expectations. The bootstrap two-sample t test comparing healthy and pathological group suggested good discrimination capacity of the IDCP-BPD factors, mainly Fragility and Impotency feelings factors.

Discussion:
Favorable evidences were find for the use of IDCP-BPD to BPD traits measurement. New factors composing this measure seems to extend the coverage of the IDCP-2 factors in measuring BPD symptoms. Correlations suggest that the factors composing IDCP-BPD measure the traits considered as relevant according to HiTOP.

Conclusions:
Discriminant capacity of the factors also indicate the use of the measure, although future studies must to replicate the verifications in samples composed by BPD patients.
