Education, Achievement, and Giftedness

This article is an examination of the theoretical views of perfectionism, some of the instruments available to measure the construct, and the empirical evidence related to perfectionism in both the general and gifted populations. Areas of needed research are addressed. Particular emphasis is given to the multidimensional nature of the construct of perfectionism.
