I did a test and it mentioned that INTJs are likely to have this, don't know if it's legit. Is this true for you? If so, how do you deal with it? It's been hindrance to me. I have this inner conflict where a part of me is pushing to correct small insignificant details (for eg. on a sheet of paper -- everything has to look perfect, which it never does so I end up writing my math test on a new set of paper and failing then raging on my oblivious cat), the other part is dying because I know I'm wasting energy.

After completing "Are You a Perfectionist?" test you have scored 5 point(s). Please read your personal test results provided below.
This person would probably make a great bank examiner or IRS agent. Again, many of the adjective used in the criteria are very positive if they are not extreme. Devoted to work, conscientious, detail oriented, perfectionist, thrifty and tenacious are a few of the positive descriptive adjectives that could depict this person. These are very valuable traits for some professions. If a surgeon performed brain surgery on me, I would prefer a conscientious perfectionist. I don't want to find later that the wrong lobe was removed.
Bonus
From a personality perspective, I am convinced that many INTJs (Introverted, intuitive, thinking judging—Myers Briggs Personality Type Indicator) suffer from OCPD. Also, as I said earlier, you must have OCPD to get a doctorate. They simply will not award the degree until you pass the OCPD criteria, all nine of them.
The similar sounding Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can be distinguished from the personality disorder presence of true obsessions and compulsions. True compulsions and obsessive thoughts are part of the criteria for OCD. If someone must wash his or her hands 25 times before each meal, the diagnosis is more likely to be OCD. An obsession is an irrational motive for performing trivial or repetitive actions against one’s will. This diagnosis is usually more disruptive socially and professionally than the less serious personality disorder.
Early Behavior
No mention is made in the DSM IV about early behaviors. Twice as many men as women are diagnosed with OCPD. If a particular behavior such as high productivity, is valued and emphasized by one's culture, it is not an indication of OCPD>
Symptoms from the National Institute of Health
Perfectionism
Inflexibility
Preoccupations with details, rules and lists
Reluctance to allow others to do things
Excessive devotions to work
Lack of generosity
Inability to throw things away even if there is not value in the object.

Tell me what you think and how worthless this post is and how I can see this from a brighter perspective, there's nothing comparably beneficial with the downsides of this crap. I've corrected this sentence 6 times now. Fuck.
