Hill perfectionism guide
Order, self, worry, and others’ view
What is perfectionism in this assessment?
Patterns of high standards, order, error worry, and sensitivity to others’ views. Some facets motivate; others drain energy.
Which dimensions are usually covered?
- Order & standards: drive for precision
- Self-oriented: inner pressure to be flawless
- Concern over mistakes: fear of error
- Others’ expectations: sensitivity to external judgment
How should you answer?
- Think about your usual pattern in recent weeks and months.
- Be honest; the result is for self-knowledge and growth, not a score to win.
- If you are between two options, pick the one closer to reality.
How is the result useful?
- See strengths and growth areas meaning-first
- Act more deliberately at work, in relationships, and in learning
- Continue self-knowledge with articles and behavioral tests
Note: Academy assessment adapted for compatibility with the official version; for healthier standards—not a negative label.
