Methodology: A sample of 254 Catalan-Spanish bilinguals, predominantly university students, were categorized as Catalan-dominant, Spanish-dominant, or balanced bilinguals based on their BLP dominance scores. The four BLP modules - language history, use, proficiency, and attitudes - were analyzed to identify differences among the groups. Data and Analysis: Comparisons across groups and within modules were conducted to evaluate the BLP's effectiveness in distinguishing bilingual profile groupings. Findings: The BLP effectively distinguishes Catalan- and Spanish-dominant bilinguals, reflecting clearly polarized linguistic experiences. In contrast, the balanced bilingual group is more heterogeneous and harder to define, suggesting that their language dominance is more context-dependent. The language-use module provides the clearest differentiation among groups, while language proficiency and attitudes exhibit less variation. Originality: This study offers a novel evaluation of the BLP in Catalonia's complex sociolinguistic environment. Significance: The results underscore the BLP's strengths and limitations in profiling bilinguals in Catalonia. Suggestions for improving the questionnaire are made to better reflect the region's particular bilingual dynamics and emphasize the value of a tailored tool.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This research has been supported by research grants #FFI2016-75082-P and #PID2020114276GB-I00 from the Spanish State Research Agency.SAGE Publications2026202620252026info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/10230/72201http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/13670069251363819reponame:Repositorio Digital de la UPFinstname:Universitat Pompeu FabraInglésInternational Journal of Bilingualism. 2025 Ago 28info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/1PE/FFI2016-75082-Pinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/2PE/PID2020114276GB-I00© The Author(s) 2025.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositori.upf.edu:10230/722012026-06-12T07:21:37Z
