Abstract: Perfectionism has been recognized as a common emotional trait of giftedness. The purpose of this international exploratory study was to examine perfectionism in gifted male and female adolescents in nine countries. How they perceive their perfectionism and the consequences of their perfectionistic behaviors is explored. Students were also asked to provide advice to educators, parents, and counselors on how to help perfectionistic gifted adolescents. Qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection were employed to gather data from gifted male and female adolescents in each country who were identified as having perfectionistic tendencies. Structured written interviews and an instrument measuring perfectionism were used to provide information about the perceptions and behaviors of this population.
