Here I’m sharing some notes from a question a friend asked me about psychological type and perfectionism.

2025 Update
The provided text explores the concepts of perfectionism, particularly among introverted individuals, contrasting it with an extraverted, objective, and "gamified" view of productivity and success. It questions whether what some perceive as perfectionism is actually a natural inclination towards subjective artistic expression rather than a flaw. The author argues that modern society often overvalues objective, measurable outcomes, leading individuals with subjective strengths to feel inadequate. Ultimately, the text suggests that true artistic pursuits are inherently subjective and may not align with society's objective metrics, emphasizing the importance of internal validation over external approval for psychological well-being.
