Your Perfectionism Test result:
Very low perfectionism
Name | Range | Description |
Very High Perfectionism | 90-100 | Your score suggests that you have a high (or even a very high) tendency for perfectionism. You may set incredibly high standards for yourself and consistently seek perfection. While this drive may lead to significant achievements, it often comes with a heavy burden of stress and self-criticism, especially when things don’t go as planned. You may find it difficult to accept mistakes and often feel anxious about not meeting your own expectations. It might be beneficial to seek guidance from a therapist to help balance your perfectionistic tendencies with a healthier and more adaptive trait. |
High Perfectionism | 75-89 | Your score suggests that you have a higher-than-average perfectionism. You may often strive toward success, your goals, and high standards. With higher-than-average perfectionism tendencies, you may hold yourself to high standards, and this determination has likely contributed to your successes. However, it’s likely that you often find yourself uncomfortable with mistakes and preoccupied with avoiding failure. You may also experience stress and dissatisfaction when things don't go as planned. It's important to recognize when your perfectionism negatively affects your well-being and to consider strategies for managing it more effectively, possibly with professional support. |
Neither Low or High | 55-75 | Your score suggests that you are an adaptive, positive perfectionist. It’s likely that you strive for excellence without letting it dominate your life. You may be somewhat concerned about being a failure when you do not meet your goals and expectations. You care about doing well; however, you are also able to accept imperfections and learn from them. Greatly, positive perfectionists, in fact, tend to be more self-assured and more emotionally stable as well as better able to encounter life’s inevitable obstacles and challenges. |
Low Perfectionism | 40-54 | Your score suggests that you sometimes feel a twinge of anxiety. It seems that you occasionally feel the pressure to meet high standards but are generally able to keep it in check. Overall, you display few perfectionistic tendencies. While you aim for success and hold yourself to a certain standard, you don't feel overly preoccupied with reaching total perfection or let the fear of failure overwhelm you. |
Very Low Perfectionism | 10-39 | Your score suggests you are not too preoccupied with high standards and expectations. You are comfortable with being average and don't feel the need to strive for perfection constantly. You understand that making mistakes is a part of life and don't let them affect your self-worth. Still, it’s also worth noting that setting higher goals, doing the hard work needed to achieve them, and challenging yourself can lead to personal growth and satisfaction. |
