Method: The current study was conducted in correlational context. Randomly selected 603 students from Tabriz Payame Nour and Azad Universities and Sarab Payame Nour University students took part in this research. Participants answered Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire-Brief (SPQ-B), Borderline Personality Inventory (BPI), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised, Short form (EPQ-RS) and Adult Attachment Inventory (AAI). Data were analyzed using stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: Neuroticism, avoidant attachment, psychoticism, secure attachment (negatively), ambivalent attachment and extraversion (negatively) significantly predict schizotypal trait respectively. Neuroticism, psychoticism, ambivalent & avoidant attachments significantly predict borderline trait respectively. Conclusion: High neuroticism and psychoticism with avoidant attachment style is proposed model for schizotypal, while high neuroticism and psychoticism with ambivalent attachment style is best model in prediction of borderline traits.
