A perfectionist learns by first doubting the correctness or quality of what is not yet known. His critical examination uses comparisons with existing or contrived alternatives, as well as meticulous troubleshooting. At the end of this learning process, he has a perfect understanding. Helpful for this are reading of technical literature and working in own “laboratory” (generating questions and finding answers).

Each basic need has a particular way of learning.

Learning is from the perspective of needing recognition: I like to read or tinker with something. When my computer doesn’t work, I look for errors, usually find them, otherwise I just do some research. In the forums there is always someone who knows something. The best way to find out is by critical comparison. Trying. Testing. Remember the best approach. Keep watching to see if someone finds something better. It’s good if I can read up on the content somewhere, like I used to. Otherwise, I jot down a few keywords for later. Then I look on the internet at home for more information and maybe critical comments about it.
