Empirical evidence suggests that Perfectionism is a multidimensional construct. The current study was
conducted to determine the psychometric properties of Almost Perfect Scale-R (Urdu Version) that
distinguishes between adaptive and maladaptive perfectionists. Using a purposive sampling, 450 (200 male
adolescents and 250 female adolescents) with ages ranging from 13-18 years were recruited from different
educational institutions in Lahore. They completed the Almost Perfect Scale-R (Urdu Version), the General
Self-Efficacy Scale and reported their GPA. Data were analysed by exploratory factor analysis, MANOVA,
Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient. The exploratory factor analysis yielded a
two factor solution: adaptive perfectionism and maladaptive perfectionism. A non-hierarchical k means cluster
analysis identified three different groups namely; the non-perfectionists, the adaptive perfectionists and the
maladaptive perfectionists. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the adaptive perfectionism subscale and
maladaptive perfectionism subscale was .79 and .80 respectively. The correlations of perfectionism with selfefficacy and academic achievement were indicative of the scale’s convergent and divergent validity. The results
suggest that the Urdu version of the APS-R is useful to evaluate and understand the construct of Perfectionism
among Pakistani adolescents.
