Your comment persuaded me to take the test. Thanks.
Load More Replies...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.

That's pretty much spot on. I subscribe to the belief that "Perfect is the enemy of good".
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.
Organizing your bookshelf. By genre/ category/ topic/ author. However I did get Adaptive (Healthy) Perfectionist.
I remember when Buzzfeed went from actual news to quizzes.... now I'm sad.
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 🙃
