I didn't look it up but what it means to me is that engineers need everything to work at OPTIMUM to be happy. They EXPECT it and when they don't get it they are not happy at all. They do not SETTLE. I settle all the time. If something works "good enough" I'm fine with it. Engineer brains are not.
I expect you are or you aren't at birth. I cannot think of any way I can change and become a perfectionist. It just doesn't matter to me to put forth that kind of effort when "good enough" is good enough. What about you?
