I'm not even sure Steve Jobs claimed to be a perfectionist. "Doing great work" might be more how he would have phrased it, as well as iterating on it.

- wickawic 9y agoIt is also very different to have a high bar for your self vs for other people. Most people that would self-label as 'perfectionist' are referencing their own behavior, even if it happens to be masking procrastination or indecision. However, I find that this character trait is almost orthogonal to having high standards for others' work, which can instead be code for arrogance or impatience.
