The purpose of the study was to investigate whether the six-factor structure of the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale could be replicated in a community-based sample. A sample of 255 adult participants (55.7% female, 44.3% male) ranging in age from 18 to 78 (mean = 37.0) completed the questionnaire. Based on the scree test and parallel analysis, four factors were selected for rotation. Varimax and oblimin rotation yielded four clearly interpretable subscales: Negative Projections, Organization, Parental Influences, and Achievement Expectations. Similarities between the original factor analysis and alternative solutions are discussed, as are the reasons for the suggested renaming of the factors
