Abstract
The study aims to find out the connection between perfectionists according to Parker (1997), Doktorová & Piteková, (2020a) namely functional, dysfunctional perfectionists and non-perfectionists, academic procrastination, and age in female students. Two questionnaires were used during the research, namely the Frost's Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (F-MPS) and the Procrastination Scale for Student population (PSS), which we administered to the research sample (N = 344) in the age span of 18 to 25. Through the non-hierarchical cluster analysis (k-means) we identified three types of perfectionists in the sample. The comparison of three types of perfectionism with academic procrastination showed statistically significant differences in the following way: the dysfunctional perfectionists achieved the highest score on the scale of academic procrastination compared with functional perfectionists and non-perfectionists. Furthermore, we did not identify statistically significant differences between typology of perfectionism and age.
