As a child I was highly perfectionist, always self-doubting, never able to admit mistakes or if I wasn’t right. Eventually that part of me broke, and for a while I was a complete slacker. I built myself back to someone who could use ‘controlled perfectionism’ to get things done without descending into obsession over pointless details (like controlling a nuclear reaction, using it to generate power but preventing a runaway reaction and meltdown).

HOWEVER, I have a real bone of contention with your diagram – it should really be a scale, or spectrum, with your ideal behaviour somewhere around the centre. Because as it stands, as a Venn diagram, the highlighted ‘sweet spot’ is actually the place where one is both perfectionist AND slacker (like your type one perfectionist who never starts). This is simply how Venn diagrams work, and this is not, I think, the message you were going for.
