Perfectionism

The worrying kind: mistakes as verdicts, doubt about 'done,' checking past the point of use. High standards are reported beside the score.

About this test

Frost's multidimensional perfectionism scale and Hewitt and Flett's model separate high standards and self-oriented striving from concern over mistakes, doubts about actions, and fear of other people's evaluation. The costly pattern in the research is usually the concern and the doubt, not the wish to do something well. These items are original. The headline percent is concern and doubt. A standards cluster is shown separately so caring about quality is not scored as a problem.
