    Trivia writer at Bored Panda with a soft spot for personality quizzes, pop culture, and all things quirky. I love psychology & the little things people don't usually say out loud. I draw inspiration from that and various stuff online to create quizzes that help you discover something new about yourself (or at least laugh along the way).

    I'll take it! Adaptive (Healthy) Perfectionist "You like things shiny but refuse to lose sleep over smudges. Flexibility is your secret ingredient, letting you adjust recipes without tossing the cookbook. Because you value growth over glare, setbacks become springboards. Keep balancing care with chill!"

    I used to be fussy. Kids, pets, and spouse have dulled that blade. I'm "adaptive" now.

    "Adaptive (Healthy) Perfectionist: You like things shiny but refuse to lose sleep over smudges. Flexibility is your secret ingredient, letting you adjust recipes without tossing the cookbook.

    So apparently for me -- Satisficer You embrace the mighty “meh, that’ll work” and march on happily. Imperfections tell stories, and you’d rather live the story than edit every sentence. Time not spent fussing is time earned for laughter, naps, or impromptu adventures. Just keep an eye on the essentials—typos in legal docs still matter! -- Absolutely fair, but I do make sure my legal docs don't go out with typos, thank you very much. I do have *some* standards.

    I couldn't get my head around the clouds. I'm a perfectionist to a fault according to family, friends and colleagues and I also love just looking at clouds. The choice between "whatever", "a beautiful as a painting" or some weird perfect cloud sculpture thing threw me off balance far more than it should. I'm getting myself a cup of tea to reclaim my sanity 🙃
