Do you expect nothing less than perfection, from yourself and from others? This six-question test uses the Perfectionism scale of the CAT-PD, a public-domain personality measure hosted by the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP). It takes about one minute and gives you an average score from 1 to 5, a read of each of your answers and practical ideas. The Chinese version is Treehole Hong Kong's own translation and has not been psychometrically validated.
