Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure is used to assess multidimensional perfectionism. The Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R) evaluates attitudes related to high personal standards, preference for order, and distress about perceived discrepancies between expectations and performance.
The instrument consists of 23 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. It was developed by Randy O. Frost, Patricia Marten, Robin Rosenblate, and Cathleen Lahart.
The Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R) is commonly used in clinical and research settings to characterize potentially adaptive versus maladaptive aspects of perfectionism and to inform case formulation when perfectionistic concerns appear relevant to functioning.
