I always found it weird hearing someone call themselves a "perfectionist". My usual challenge has been to ask if they ever achieved anything that was "perfect" (which I take to mean "cannot be improved further")? With the expected (and common) response of "no", I can only assume that they strive for improvement. Now, it is my belief that majority of people (if not all) strive for improvement, but the important point is what parts of our lives or ourselves we try to improve. I've never met a person who does focus equally on improving in all areas of their life, so I generally just assume that they have not thought things through and are lying to themselves, or simply they are focusing on things most other people are not. ;-) Sorry to all the "perfectionists" out there, but I think we are all equally perfectionists, meaning that nobody is! :D
