The relationships between borderline and schizotypal traits are still debated. Borderline traits, schizotypal traits, and several psychopathological symptoms were assessed among 2,341 college students. A factor analysis was performed on borderline and schizotypal personality measures, leading to 10 factors. Borderline factors were largely intercorrelated, as were schizotypal factors. Moreover, borderline factors were weakly to largely correlated to schizotypal factors. Five factors were very strongly correlated (r > .50). Dissociation was strongly related to Odd Beliefs/Unusual Perceptive Experiences and Anxious-Depressive factors. Social Anxiety was strongly related to Suspiciousness. Based on these 10 factors, a cluster analysis was conducted, and resulted in four clearly distinct groups: a Low Traits cluster, a Narcissistic cluster, a Social Anxiety cluster, and a High Traits cluster. This High Traits cluster had the lowest levels of academic achievement and the highest levels of internalizing behaviors and externalizing behaviors. The clinical implications of the results are discussed.

大学生的边缘和分裂特征：关系和人格特征。

边缘特征和分裂特征之间的关系仍然存在争议。在 2,341 名大学生中评估了边缘特征、分裂型特征和几种精神病理学症状。对边缘和分裂型人格测量进行了因素分析，得出 10 个因素。边缘因素在很大程度上是相互关联的，分裂型因素也是如此。此外，边缘因素与分裂型因素的相关性从弱到很大。五个因素非常相关（r > .50）。分离与奇怪的信念/不寻常的感知体验和焦虑抑郁因素密切相关。社交焦虑与可疑性密切相关。基于这 10 个因素，进行了聚类分析，并得出了四个明显不同的组：低特质聚类、自恋聚类、社交焦虑集群和高特质集群。这个 High Traits 集群的学术成就水平最低，而内化行为和外化行为水平最高。讨论了结果的临床意义。
