Yep, I'm definitely a perfectionist.

 

[ninetypercent]

^yeah, I always have trouble clicking "print" coz I'm not sure whether my work is perfect or not

 

[annabackwards]

Yes, but if it's a subject i don't care about i won't waste my talents on it

 

[mirakon]

so yeah, are you a perfectionist?

No but I am perfect.

But seriously, yeah can't be satisfied with ANYTHING. I always have a feeling I've got something wrong which makes me really pedantic during work.

 

[mRJoJo]

most definitely

i will have read my essay on the computer, print it out and while I'm studying for
it I find a tiny grammatical error and won't continue unless I re-print my work with the grammatical change

 

[philphie]

if it's hw no. if we have to write an essay i'll write a few dot points then when teacher tells me to read it i just improv.music performances, no, i'll have a couple of practises just to loosen my dexterity and to make my sight reading responsive so i don't bother to memorise pieces. at most i will remember one section and just do some variations for the rest. as for home assignments probably a perfectionist despite doing things last minute. if i find mistakes after i'll just get he pen and start scribbling, don't really care, as long as the teacher can read it.

I'm not a perfectionist at all. A lot of the times I will just say: "fuck that".

 

[annarh-saur]

^ LOLS. Im a perfectionist. I spend hours re-reading over my essays/assignments to make sure they're almost perfect... HOWEVER, it always seems that its not perfect enough.

 

[speedofsound]

it is very dead, although it should liven up a bit when school goes back. the threads atm are not very inspiring

 

[suling]

I am..it is so frustrating, never being happy with an assignment etc., or marks on a test. Even if I get 1st in an assessment with 98% or something I am never happy because I could have done better..

I get really shaky and feel sick whenever assignments/exams/assessments get handed back because I worry that I won't have done well enough...it is so ridiculous

Yep, I'm definitely a perfectionist.

Yep, me too.

I didn't think I was, but then my friends pointed out to me the way I would literally spend an hour fiddling with the word order in a single sentence just because I wanted to get the expression "just right".

 

[annabackwards]

nope. i used to knock over a 1000 word essay in 2, 3 hours max and i did ok

You're just too pro

 

[orthentix]

I was, until I hit year 11. Yes thats right, before year 12.

there is no such thing as a perfect answer.

You need to develop a tolerance for ambiguity.

[sinophile]

yes. i think its a good thing. i aspire to perfection. anything less is an anticlimax, kind of like sex without the orgasm.

 

[gouge.away]
