WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Perfectionism Scale Test

perfectionism

This measure assesses perfectionistic attitudes and goal-oriented standards that may influence performance and self-evaluation. The Perfectionism Scale is a self-report questionnaire designed to characterize individual differences in striving for high standards and the ways these standards are pursued.

The instrument includes 35 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Respondents rate statements reflecting personal expectations and work habits to support screening and research applications; results are intended to inform clinical formulation rather than serve as a standalone diagnosis.

Interpretation of the Perfectionism Scale should consider the respondent’s context (e.g., academic or occupational demands) and integrate findings with other assessment data and clinical judgment.
