How do you see yourself physically?

The Physical Appearance Perfectionism Scale (PPCS-6) measures the tendency to hold unrealistically high standards for your physical appearance and to be overly critical of how you look.

What appearance perfectionism means

  • Setting impossibly high standards for your appearance
  • Being overly critical of perceived flaws
  • Spending excessive time on grooming and appearance
  • Feeling anxious about how others perceive your looks

About this scale

This test measures appearance-related perfectionism — a specific form of perfectionism focused on the body. It's based on research showing that appearance perfectionism is associated with body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and low self-esteem.

Research shows that appearance perfectionism is associated with:

  • Body dissatisfaction
  • Disordered eating
  • Social anxiety
  • Lower self-worth
Perfectionism about appearance is increasingly common in a culture that emphasizes physical ideals. Recognizing these tendencies is the first step toward developing a healthier relationship with your body.
