Perfectionists have dark side too
Is your boss a perfectionist? Well, in that case he could be having a dark side too. A new study says that perfectionists tend to be narcissistic, anti-social and to have an aggressive sense of humour. Also, the type of perfectionist who sets impossibly high standards for others cares little about social norms and does not readily fit into the bigger social picture.
London: Is your boss a perfectionist? Well, in that case he could be having a dark side too. A new study says that perfectionists tend to be narcissistic, anti-social and to have an aggressive sense of humour. Also, the type of perfectionist who sets impossibly high standards for others cares little about social norms and does not readily fit into the bigger social picture.
Reminds you of someone? Psychologists recognise three types of perfectionism, each with different beliefs, attitudes, motivations and behaviour. "Self-oriented" perfectionists have exceedingly high personal standards, strive for perfection and expect themselves to be perfect.
In comparison, "socially prescribed" perfectionists believe that being perfect is important to others and therefore strive to be flawless. People who have one of these tendencies all tend to be highly critical of themselves. Socially prescribed perfectionists, on the other hand, make self-deprecating jokes, have low self-esteem and low self-regard, and often feel inferior.
