What can be a disadvantage of an excessive desire for perfection?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Starting or completing work may be delayed
High standards can improve quality, but an excessive need for perfect results may make a person repeatedly revise, fear mistakes, or postpone beginning. It can therefore delay both starting and finishing a task, especially when time is limited. Option C states this possible disadvantage. Perfectionism does not guarantee speed, eliminate stress, or make deadlines meet themselves.
