Numerous authors reported a prevalence of perfectionism in gifted populations. In addition, an unhealthy form of perfectionism that leads to anxiety disorder has been described. Using self-report measures (CAPS and R-CMAS) with 132 children, we hypothesized that intellectually gifted children express a higher level of perfectionism and anxiety. Our results pointed out a paradox: the gifted group obtained a higher self-oriented perfectionism score than the control group in 6th grade, but present the same level of anxiety. In contrast, the gifted group showed the same level of perfectionism than non-gifted 5(th) graders, but reported a higher anxiety level. Thus, the interplay between perfectionism and anxiety appears to be more complex than a simple linear relationship in giftedness.
许多作者报告说，在天才人群中存在完美主义倾向。此外，还描述了一种导致焦虑症的不健康的完美主义形式。我们使用自我报告的测量工具（CAPS 和 R-CMAS）对 132 名儿童进行了研究，假设智力天赋的孩子会表现出更高水平的完美主义和焦虑。我们的结果指出了一个悖论：在六年级时，天赋组的自我导向完美主义得分高于对照组，但焦虑水平相同。相比之下，天赋组的完美主义水平与非天赋的五年级学生相同，但报告的焦虑水平更高。因此，完美主义和焦虑之间的相互作用似乎比天赋的简单线性关系更为复杂。
