Perfectionism is a personality characteristic that is defined in various forms but in most of these definitions, willingness to complete and superiority are common. Segmentation of perfectionism to two kinds: positive or negative, adaptive or maladaptive and healthy or unhealthy and or to various kinds, began by Hamachek (1978) and so far, several theorists have attempted to verification, completion or modify the types mentioned by him.

The reason for this result is probably that conscientious perfectionism of who have both perfectionisms (mixed perfectionism) is extremist and inflexible
