... because I am having trouble coming up with reasons and examples for when being a perfectionist is a good thing. I always seem to get let down by my perfectionist tendencies- one can never really reach perfection, so why constantly strive for it?? sounds horrible... can anyone tell me a positive reason for being a perfectionist? I just want to know...

wow, thanks for all that jbking! :happy:

I can relate to a lot of this- I didn't realize all of that fell under the catergory of perfectionism. It's interesting that it said consulting is a good career for us because I have been thinking about going into some sort of consulting career after college.

I'm glad that perfectionism has these positive aspects.
