Abstract :
    The present study aimed to compare the parameters of d2 test in two types of perfectionism (Self-oriented perfectionism and Other-oriented perfectionism). For this purpose, 150 participants holding university degrees aged between 25 and 45 were selected using purposive sampling and were investigated with regard to 4 areas of perfectionism. For data collection, Terry-Short Multi-dimensional Perfectionism Scale (TMPS) and the d2 Test of Selective Attention and Focus were used. The data were analyzed through One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that among the two types of Perfectionism (Self-oriented perfectionism and Other-oriented perfectionism), a significant difference was observed only between selective attention among other-oriented perfectionists and participants lacking other-oriented perfectionism. In general, among the participants with other-oriented perfectionism, the highest score was obtained for GZ parameter, i.e., forward movement without caution and the lowest score was obtained for KL parameter, i.e., low attention and focus and a high rate of negligence.
