here are some of the ways you could say I'm a perfectionist

  1. I check over simple math problems 3 times
  2. I still do addition and subtraction on my calculator to make sure my brain got it right
  3. I check skyward 3 times a day
  4. I will argue that one point on my test
  5. I find joy in organizing my binder
  6. I ask too many questions, even though I may already know the answer
  7. I am the last one to finish my test because I have reread every question and answer
  8. I make sure my handwriting is perfect for my notes
  9. I won't move on from a topic until I fully understand it
  10. I enjoy organizing the pantry and refrigerator
  11. I refuse to go to bed until all my homework is complete
  12. If there is a question of health or homework, I choose homework
  13. I have to get reassurance that what I'm doing is right (assignment, following directions, etc)
  14. sometimes I ask the same question multiple times just to make sure I understand something
  15. I get straight A's
  16. Life will end If I get an A- or lower
  17. I procrastinate
  18. I tend to write too much just to make sure my thoughts are fully on paper
  19. If there is a way to get above 100%, I will try it
  20. If I can't do something just right, I don't do it
  21. I will reshovel the driveway to get the edges of snow that were left
  22. I've pulled multiple all-nighters for school projects
  23. I've sent a research paper to each one of my family members and asked them to make edits
  24. I stay after school to ask teachers questions about the subject
  25. I like science because there is one and only one perfect answer
  26. I like math because there is one and only one perfect answer
  27. my fingernails are always perfectly clipped
  28. art is frustrating to me because I can't perfectly draw things (and because I take too long)
