    Expecting Perfectionism from Others

    Often our focus for perfectionism is not on ourselves, but on others in our lives. Unfairly and with
    impossibly high expectations, we may set them up to fail–and risk harming our relationships with them
    (Stoeber, 2018).

    The table below identifies the people with whom you tend to be overly perfectionistic and why (modified
    from Antony & Swinson, 2009).

    Complete only those boxes below that are relevant and include your belief (or expectation) and an
    intensity score.

    focus or recall when you revisit the form at a later date.
