What It Does Not Do
The worksheet does not measure perfectionism severity, classify readiness, generate practice steps, or function as a full treatment module.
Does the worksheet score readiness for change?
No. It records readiness-related responses where supplied but does not calculate a readiness level or score.
Can one worksheet cover several perfectionism patterns?
No. Separate patterns should use separate worksheets when needed so the appraisal stays clear.
What happens if readiness is unclear?
Readiness is marked as unresolved rather than interpreted as not ready.
