Determination of Differences in Personality Characteristics in Indi-vidual Types of Perfectionism in Humanistic Sciences

Abstract

The main goal of this work is to compare the personality characteristics in individual types of perfectionism. In order to determine the perfectionism, we used Frost’s Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (F-MPS) and NEO five-factor personal inventory (NEO-FFI) for personal characteristics. There questionnaires were administered to humanistic science students (N=344) in the age span of 19 to 26. Through the non-hierarchical aggregate analyse we identified three types of perfectionists in the sample: functional, dysfunctional perfectionists and non-perfectionists. The comparison of the individual typed of perfectionism with personality characteristics showed statistically significant differences in the following way: compared to the other two type the dysfunctional perfectionists achieved the highest score on the scale of neuroticism. Other differences between the perfectionist types did not show any statistical importance.

An Investigation into Interrelations Between Trait Emotional Intelligence and Perfectionism in Middle School Aged Children

“…Emotionality, being greatly prominent, influences our whole personality, however due to working with respondents who had normal degrees of perfectionism (adaptive form of perfectionism) it was not possible to mark the relationship as being statistically significant (Doktorová, Piteková, 2020).…”

Typology of Perfectionists in the Context of Procrastination and Age among Female Students of Humanities

“…The main aim of the research is to find out if there is a possibility to identify the tripartite typology of perfectionists according to Parker (1997), Doktorová & Piteková (2020a) in our research sample and explore the connection between three types of perfectionists and selected variables such as academic procrastination and age. Based on the present mentioned results of research above (Doktorová & Piteková, 2020b;Hawkins, 2005;Hawkins et al, 2006;Onwuegbuzie, 2000;Park & Jeong, 2015;Parker, 1997;Rakes & Dunn, 2014;Rice & Lapsley, 2001;Seo, 2008) we have formulated one research question and one hypothesis.…”
