Honors College Students

Using the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (Frost, Martin, Lahart, & Rosenblate, 1990) measures of perfectionism in a group of 90 Honors College students and 95 more typical peers were compared. Honors College students received significantly higher scores with a moderate effect size on the subscales of Concern Over Mistakes, Personal Standards, Parental Expectations, and the total score of overall perfectionism. This result is in contrast to recent findings of no difference in perfectionism scores between gifted and typical younger students. It is unclear if the finding of elevated perfectionism among Honors College students is indicative of predisposition to maladjustment or is a healthy component of the pursuit of academic excellence among the highly able.
