Characterised profiles based on STiP-5.1 elements and other clinical variables as compared to the total sample. ↑=the group median for this variable is above the 60th percentile of the overall sample (i.e., higher than the average). ↓=the group median for this variable is less than the 40th percentile of the overall sample (i.e., lower than the average). Items in bold represent extreme upper or lower scores. In our sample, there are only extreme upper scores. That is, the group median is above the 70th percentile of the overall sample (i.e., they are much higher than the average). Regions without any symbols (blank regions) indicate that the group median for this variable is within the 40th and 60th percentile range of the overall sample (i.e., around average). BPD= Borderline Personality Disorder, HRQoL = Health Related Quality of Life; NSSI=Non-suicidal self-injury. Higher scores on STiP-5.1 elements=higher levels of impairment
