Another factor driving perfection is a person’s desire for “acceptance” as defined by the Reiss Motivation Profile (RMP). The RMP personality assessment shows a wide variation in people’s need for acceptance, which is linked to perfectionism and fear of failure. About 20 % of people have a high need for acceptance, so more likely to struggle with perfectionism. Another 20% have a low need for acceptance and view failure as part of the learning process. The majority of people fall between the two groups.
