With most tasks in general, are you a perfectionist and make sure it is done neat and you'll still do it until your happy with it?

I am. For example, if there is a bit of homework I have to do, I am not happy with it until I am and when it's all done perfect from my eyes.

Maybe not 'perfect', but at least until I'm satisfied that I have done my best without over-exerting myself, or to the detriment of other important things.

When it comes to guys, than no.

When it comes to my flat, or my parents' house, than yes.

I wouldn't say "most" tasks for me.

With what I create I'm definately a perfectionist.

With study I'm definately a perfectionist (now, in my younger years I only studied things I enjoyed)

With many other things I'm definately the opposite of a perfectionist, the best example would be hygeine, no matter what I do I can't seem to focus on cleaning myself, or my environment for more than 10 minutes.

I'd say typically yes, but if I'm really tired, I get to the point where I could care less. But trust me, I've driven people crazy with everything having to be perfect. lol

Not in life. I am an extreme klutz, and ok is good enough for me.

With my drawings and crafts I am though, and i'm always less then satisfied when they don't turn out perfect.

I agree with all above who mentioned their art. I'll craft a pic, and then print it, later look at it, and if there's any detail I don't like, I'll go back and change it.

But like perfectionist at work??? Bwwwwhhahahhahahhahahhahh ! !! !!
