The purpose of present study is to analyze whether the international high school students
are more perfectionistic and creative than the general high school students. To approach
this, Hewitt & Flett (1991)’s Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale(MPS) and self rated creativity
scale were conducted on 241 high school students at a private international and a general
high school; the mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s correlational coefficients was
calculated and t-test was performed. As a result, a international high school students were
shown to have significantly higher self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism of
multidimensional perfectionism scales (t=3.12, p<.01) And, self-rated creativity was verified
between the distinguished groups of the international(M=3.72, SD=.75) and the general
(M=3.09, SD=1.58) high school students(t=5.20, p<.001). The present study confirmed that
the international high school students have higher tendency toward self-oriented, socially
prescribed perfectionism and self-rated creativity than the general high school.
