Your Question
Statistical studies of borderline personality disorder and intelligence...are there any?
I have an opinion that people with borderline personality disorder tend to have a high level of intelligence.Not always book knowledge,but,intellectual/perceptive,and… deeper thinking nonetheless.Are there statistical papers,or research studies which support this or cancel it ,based on a long term or in depth observation by reputable research?

Lets see what responses come from within that forum.I really doubt that this would actually be a proper forum within which to ask.I think borderline classification and their childhood causes more of a hyper-awareness,I honestly haven't a clue whether B.P.D individuals are more 'intelligent' per se...but,frankly,I have yet to meet a B.P.D idiot.I have met some BPD individuals which contained some personality traits which severely limited their ability to be mindful or focused on being insightful enough to progress or ...I prefer the word 'evolve' ...(on many levels),but I feel this is related to base personality traits ...trait-variabilities that we all possess,whether or not one has B.P.D.

I enjoy that the question has been posed,but,I honestly don't think that my feelings on the matter would be influenced by anything aside from reputable studies.Certainly not by 'opinion'.

Appreciate any contribution.

On a side note: The concept and definition of intelligence;jmo,is relative and varied...isn't it?
