Intellectually Gifted Students’ Perceptions of Personal Goals and Work Habits
Glenda P. Pruett
PERFECTIONISM IMPACTS ALL FACETS OF STUDENTS’ LIVES, BOTH positively and negatively. Hamachek (as cited in Orange, 1997) described perfectionism as a positive characteristic: The student is intrinsically motivated, earns high grades, and performs well on tasks. He or she takes pleasure from the achievement effort and successful completion of a task. On the other hand, Parker (2000) stated that feelings of perfectionism can sometimes impact negatively by overwhelming the student with the need to achieve at all costs, to be better than everyone else, and to set unrealistic and unachievable goals.The neurotic perfectionist views conditions from a negative perspective, feeling that goals are unachievable without perfect performance (Parker).
