I need help with this sentence.

Hi. I really need help with this sentence. I need this sentence to make a very strong point.

Sentence:
I wouldn’t classify perfectionism to be a weakness, but rather as one of my strengths.

Should the wording change? Is the word rather use correctly?

Thank you so much.

Your sentence is marginal. I would change it at least to: I wouldn’t classify perfectionism as a weakness, but rather as one of my strengths.

I would not call perfectionism a weakness, but a strength.

OR

I would rather call perfectionism as one of my strengths and not weakness.
