there have definitely been communication issues on both parts.  He/she displayed a pattern of behavior consistent with what I've been reading about bpd, splitting episodes(pretty darn sure) and many other signs, but no confirmed diagnosis that I'm aware of. 

I'm a work mentor.It has been very rocky and intense, but I'm still trying to help. He/she suggested we exchange MBTIs to help with the communication issues.

Would this help somehow? Or would this somehow be used against me? I'm a bit skeptical giving a person with a pattern of these behaviors the guide to how I operate. My MBTI seems very accurate. Though maybe it can help..

The goal is to create an environment I can help while making it a bit more comfortable for the both of us... and there can be no open conversation about the illness at this point. Help is appreciated. Thanks!
