I am not, my wife is.
Same here.Sometimes I am a perfectionist, sometimes I'm not...
I don't know. It just came to my mind. It's like some people are willing to bend rules, others are for the strict 'black letter' of the law. I think a lot of life is in the grey areas. Even things you thought could not be creative can be. I like to explore the grey areas and try think laterally (not 'literally?').I buy your idea of categories! I am between 3 and 4...Depending of the importance of the matter.... Pedantic? I can't see the relation between pedantic and perfectionist... I don't like pedantic people.

exactamundo.....In the perfectionist debit column:
Many a perfectionist will not finish what they began, because they know it will never be truly perfect, "So, why bother?''
