Family Almost Perfect Scale (FAPS) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure assesses perceived perfectionistic standards and evaluative pressure within the family environment. The Family Almost Perfect Scale (FAPS) is intended to capture how individuals experience family expectations, criticism, and the broader climate of “high standards” at home.
Respondents rate 17 items and typically complete the measure in about 4 minutes. Scores may be used in clinical or research contexts to inform case conceptualization regarding family dynamics related to perfectionism, self-evaluation, and associated emotional distress. The Family Almost Perfect Scale (FAPS) should be interpreted in conjunction with other assessment data and relevant clinical history.
