Answer to Question 1

White's (2000) description of behaviors consistent with pursuers of excellence versus perfectionists
listed the perfectionist behaviors as having to win to maintain high self-esteem, being devastated by
failure (not learning from failure), valuing themselves for what they do (not for who they are), hating
criticism (not welcoming criticism), getting depressed and giving up (not experiencing disappointment
but keeping on going), only being able to live with being number one (not pleased with knowing they
did their best) and remembering mistakes and dwelling on them (not correcting mistakes and learning
from them).
