People from Perfect Country love to have things right. They are perfectionists, and they love it! Their vehicle is a train on a train track, and they want to stay according to the plan! These people want respect for their feelings.
These people are crazy for systems, strategies, and plans. They are the people that actually read the directions — every time. Plans and stable structure are at the core of who they are — and when plans get changed, they often become depressed because their wonderful plans were messed up; their “core” was unstable. These people are extremely particuluar and they want things done correctly — but they don’t want to control. Unlike the Control Country person, they would get offended if they are accused of being a control freak. They don’t want to control, they just want things to be right!
If you want to discourage these people – don’t let them manage details. Say things critically like, “It doesn’t have to be perfect!” and “Those details don’t matter to anyone. When you do this, you’re criticizing their deepest passions! If you want to discourage them — don’t encourage what they love!
“Unlike the Control Country person, they would get offended if they are accused of being a control freak. They don’t want to control, they just want things to be right!” Uh oh…that’s just how I described myself to Jody last night!
I am commenting to let you know of the fine encounter my friend’s daughter found reading your site. She figured out many issues, not to mention what it’s like to have a wonderful giving mindset to have men and women quite simply have an understanding of selected hard to do subject areas. You really exceeded our expectations. Many thanks for giving the insightful, safe, explanatory and as well as easy thoughts on the topic to Jane.
