The Perfectionism Scale

The Perfectionism Scale is a tool used to measure an individual's tendency toward perfectionism, which is the pursuit of flawlessness and high achievement standards. It assesses how much a person strives for perfection in various aspects of their life, their fear of making mistakes, and their sensitivity to criticism. High scores on the scale indicate a stronger inclination towards perfectionism, which can lead to stress and dissatisfaction, while lower scores suggest a more balanced approach to goals and self-evaluation. Understanding where one falls on this scale can help individuals recognize and address perfectionistic traits.
