13 Ways to Spot a Perfectionist


 Having a personal experience dealing with a perfectionist in my life I would like to share how to spot a judgmental perfectionist, so that you know who and what you are dealing with. Society often rewards these perfection, because doesn’t society want you to always be on time, always have everything organized, always have perfect morals and never make a mistake. However there are people who have to live or work with these people day in and day who feel the constant pressure that they are being judged and start to feel unworthy of them selves. If you have felt this way around someone, you are not at fault these people only see things in black and white and never from other people’s point of view and will never change or apologize because they never see themselves as wrong or incorrect, because they are perfectionist.   Here are 13 indentifying characteristics of a Judgmental perfectionist.


  1. They have such a desire for perfection that it interferes with their ability to be happy or satisfied in life.
  2. Obsessed with rules, list, organizations, and orderliness
  3. Have a need to control the finances  schedules and other details
