Administered the two psychological tests at the guidance office or a classroom: 1. Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS) 2. NEO Five-Factor Inventory-3 (NEO FFI-3)

Responses score was tallied and treated using two statistical methods:Pearson r and Regression analysis

Conclusion

UST deans listers with high neuroticism are inclined to being anxious individuals. These deans listers can also be temperamental, emotional, and prone to stress-related disorders. They exhibit socially prescribed perfectionism, wherein others set the standards for the deans listers behavior, and they tend to overgeneralize their failures and criticize themselves.

Conclusion

UST deans listers who exhibit openness are intellectually curious, are willing to try different activities, and are said to be exhibiting self-oriented perfectionism wherein they set high standards for themselves.

Conclusion

UST deans listers who exhibit conscientiousness are organized, controlled, and self-disciplined. They exhibit self-oriented perfectionism and other oriented perfectionism, wherein they have high standards for themselves and other people.
