A newborn can acquire its parents' personalities. It may be one or both combined. This isn't always the case, though. As opposed to being born with it, this personality is primarily developed through the environment in which one grows up.

Take an adult who is perfectionistically driven. When we look back at his early years, we frequently find out that he was the first in his class. He was always compelled to excel and hold that position. He gradually acquired the obsessional desire to always succeed in everything, which was initially influenced by his parents. He demands perfection from everything. Failure is never an option because it means you might be rejected by those around you.

Perfection is crucial to the type 1 enneagram personality. But we don't naturally possess it. Parents who are overbearing can have an impact on us, and we may develop the same mindset as children. However, it's not always the family. It might also be a result of human evolution in societies where achieving perfection makes people happy.

By believing that obtaining excellence is the only way to find happiness, we develop a perfectionist mentality. The media highlights other people's accomplishments and rewards. We evaluate ourselves against all of these ideal individuals and strive to be on par.

Therefore, whether or not they are voluntary, perfectionists are a byproduct of an education that is too rigid. They can, however, also be the result of an individual's desire to approach another person's status. It is undoubtedly one of the many negative aspects of evolution.

You're surrounded by perfectionists, whether they be at work, school, or in the family. Additionally, you might be the culprit! Let's look at the goals and virtues that the reformer is based on so that we can better understand how they view the world or so that we can learn more about ourselves.

It goes without saying that the perfectionist's primary goal is to ensure that every last detail is carried out perfectly. He demands accuracy and clarity in everything. In fact, he would prefer to complete the task himself than to entrust it to someone he believes is unqualified to handle it. Frequently, it's primarily done to avoid criticism from others.

These people have very high standards and constantly work to uphold them, even if it requires making sacrifices for themselves. The perfectionist will constantly anticipate the same behavior from others.

The One also has a very distinct view of what is good and bad, as well as what is right and wrong. He feels obligated to improve the state of the world. For these reasons, he won't think twice about engaging in combat to persuade others to support his causes. But he doesn't just display his dominance at that moment.
