About this test

Perfectionism isn't just wanting to do things well. Sometimes the pressure comes from you, sometimes you put it on others, and sometimes you feel the world demands perfection from you.

Answer honestly: perfectionists tend to underestimate how perfectionist they are.

The three faces of perfectionism

Psychologists Paul Hewitt and Gordon Flett described three dimensions of perfectionism in 1991: self-oriented (demanding perfection of yourself), other-oriented (demanding it of others) and socially prescribed (feeling that others demand it of you).

Research distinguishes healthy striving for high standards from perfectionistic concerns such as fear of mistakes and constant self-criticism. Socially prescribed perfectionism is the one most linked to anxiety, depression and burnout.
