Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale

The Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale is a tool used to measure different aspects of perfectionism in individuals. It assesses how people set high standards for themselves, their concern about making mistakes, and their feelings about their performance. The scale recognizes that perfectionism has many parts—such as striving for excellence, difficulty accepting imperfections, and feeling pressure from others. By understanding these different dimensions, the scale helps identify how perfectionism impacts a person’s mood, behavior, and well-being, which can be useful in mental health assessments and developing personalized strategies for improvement.
