It doesn’t matter if you are black or white, you just can’t be grey

Have you ever met those people who are all or nothing?  Anything in between just doesn’t satisfy them at all?  When having a discussion with my wife this weekend it occured to me that everything she’s involved in is 100% or 0%.  For example this weekend we started some early spring cleaning for some company coming in, and it didn’t stop with just some cleaning, it became an entire house overhaul.  In conversation I think I illustrated this point perfectly.

 ”So it doesn’t matter if you are 10 -0 or 0 -10, you just have to be perfectly good or perfectly bad?”

She agreed. 

Which made me wonder… are there many people like that out there that can’t accept a “imperfect” record?  Also, what drives someone to be like that?  It’s actually quite hard for me to comprehend as I’m normally very laid back about things in general and accept them as they come.   There are things that everyone is passionate about, and I’ve met people who need to be perfectly good at the things they do, but this is certainly an interesting personality quirk.
