Having a preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and mental and interpersonal control, at the expense of flexibility, openness, and efficiency, beginning by early adulthood and often present in a variety of situations:

• Preoccupied with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or schedules to the extent that the major purpose of the activity is lost.
• A "perfectionism" which interferes with the completion of an objective; such as, being unable to complete a project because one's overly strict standards are not met and so, showing rigidity and stubbornness.
• Being excessively devoted to work and productivity to the exclusion of leisure activities and friendships which do not involve an economic necessity.
• Being unable to throw away worn-out or worthless objects; even when they have no sentimental value.
• Having an overconscientious, scrupulous, and inflexible attitude about matters of morality, ethics, or values all of which have nothing to do with any cultural or religious associations.
