Have many HN'ers done the Myers-Briggs personality type test? According to this test, I'm an INTJ.I tend to set very high standards for myself, many times they're impossibly high. When I fail to achieve them, I feel horribly depressed and disappointed in myself. Worse yet, I tend to have very high expectations for the people around me.

I'm that guy who joins your project and reformats your code for consistency, and who relentless refactors your code into something readable and DRY.

I've spent a great deal of time learning how to set manageable goals for myself on a near daily basis. I'm also learning how to let my expectations for others be set by others (versus me setting very high standards for them). So, I can see a bit of myself in this article. I often wish I cared a little less. It seems like an easier life.
