The current research aimed to identify neurotic perfectionism among distinguished and ordinary students, and are there statistically significant differences in neurotic perfectionism among distinguished and ordinary students due to the gender variable (male, female), and are there statistically significant differences for self-differentiation between distinguished students and their peers, ordinary students, and to achieve the objectives of the research The researcher adopted a measure of neurotic perfectionism, which includes (44) items and four domains, which are (the first dimension is parental criticism and expectations, the second dimension is self-oriented perfectionism, the third dimension is socially acquired perfectionism, the fourth dimension is obsessive thoughts) and the number of the sample was (400) students. And a female student, with (200) distinguished students and (200) ordinary students. The scale was applied to four schools from the Babel Education Directorate, two schools for distinguished students and two schools for ordinary students. The following statistical methods were used (Alpha Cronbach coefficient - retest method - Pearson correlation coefficient - one-sample t-test - two independent samples t-test - Columgrove Samir-Nof test for one sample - Mann-Whitney test for two independent samples) The results showed that there is neurotic perfectionism among outstanding students and the absence of statistically significant differences in neurotic perfectionism among distinguished students according to the gender variable (male - female), and the absence of neurotic perfectionism among ordinary secondary school students and the absence of statistically significant differences in neurotic perfectionism Among ordinary secondary school students according to the gender variable (male - female) and there are statistically significant differences in neurotic perfectionism and in favor of distinguished students compared
to their normal peers
