So far my ideas are pretty lame - - the word spelled out in Scrabble tiles, a bulls eye, a stack of books on the subject. Maybe a face with eraser marks all around? I don't really like any of those. I'm stumped!

It's for a non-profit newsletter for an article about students who struggle with perfectionism.

A photograph of a beautiful, natural thing, such as a perfect rose, with a small flaw, such as a hole in a rose petal.
A photo reproduction of a great, familiar masterpiece, such as Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, half finished, with the other half still a pencil sketch.
A fine penciled drawing, with an eraser lying next to it.
A shot of a ballet dancer's foot, en pointe, showing a worn shoe and worn tights.
A musical score, with some notes erased and new ones inked in.
A copy of the opening lines of a familar work of literature, such as Moby Dick, with proofreader's marks and new words inserted.

From an assignment for an engineering conference in the early 70s:
A line drawing of a human hand, "pointing" to the right. Along certain parts, I drew dimension lines and arrows with very precise numbers like, 3.779" and .501, and others.
I overlaid a few strips of transperent colors along some compontents for focus and interest.

A perfect circle or square (larger or bolder stroke) surrounded by varying sizes (smaller) ellipses or rectangles. Place the perfect circle or square off-center, towards one of the corners (stronger visually). Considering the context of the illustration, the "perfect" circle or square can be incomplete - with a small gap in the perimeter line. From personal experience, I know that frequently perfectionists can have trouble completing things.
Good luck.
ps. You don't need to have the word "perfectionism" anywhere when you are trying to visually represent it.

I like the mispelled perfectionism idea...
Or you could just have a half-finished piece of art. The idea being that you didn't finish it because it wasn't good enough. Perfectionism is why I quit drawing.

I suggest a crooked horizontal line which leads into a shape like a circle. Maybe even have the crooked line itself run through the word.

LOOK YOU CAN HAVE THAT LITTLE IDEA YOU CAN DESIGN SOME THING FAR AWAY FORM PERFECTION!!!
THEN YOU WRITE "YOU CAN NOT BE PERFECT BUT YOU CAN REACH THE LIMITS "
WHAT I MEAN IS TO TRY OT FOCUS THAT SOME TIMES PERFECTION CAN BE UNNOTICEABLE
