Previous studies proved that perfectionism is one of the factors causing procrastination in thesis writing. Unfortunately, no inventory that specifically measures perfectionism in the context of thesis writing had been developed. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an inventory of thesis-writing perfectionism that meets several psychometric requirements. The inventory was constructed through four steps: (1) specifying the construct of perfectionism; (2) constructing the measurement model; (3) performing confirmatory factor analysis; and (4) testing the validity of the measurement model. 200 subjects were involved in the study. The validity and reliability of the inventory were examined using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha. These steps successfully validated 10 of 20 initially constructed items. © 2019, Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development. All rights reserved.
