📋 What to expect
What is Perfectionism?
Perfectionism is more than wanting to do things well. Psychologically, it is usually broken into dimensions like an intense concern over making mistakes, chronic doubt about whether a task was done correctly, very high personal standards, and a sense that others expect flawlessness from you.
Why it matters
Perfectionism is strongly linked to ADHD, autism, OCD and anxiety disorders, where the drive to avoid errors is often intensified by executive-function struggles or fear-of-failure loops. It can look like adaptive high standards from the outside while feeling, internally, like a source of chronic stress and avoidance.
About this test
This 30-question assessment covers five dimensions of perfectionism and is an educational self-assessment, not a clinical diagnosis. High scores can reflect adaptive traits as well as maladaptive patterns; only a mental health professional can assess whether perfectionism is causing significant distress.
