Perfectionism is some problem with some person for some reason that has to do with their tiny, tiny brains! Jeez!
==History==
The first known perfectionist was Joe Jerryson... no, wait a second, wasn't it Cyrus Caesar? Arthur Argus? Hmm... maybe that's the first historic reference... hang on... no, not him... wait... maybe... oh! Okay, then...— The first known perfectionist was Ogg Gruntsson, (circa 1,548,452,042-1,548,452,069 BC) who was, according to Ogg's journals, The journals were detailed depictions of scenes from Ogg's life, assembled into the world's first diary and the world's first comic book. "obsessed with fascinated by the beauty of things creations that are perfect embody perfection."From Ogg's Life Issue #2, stone 34, pebble 16. From what archeologists Who, sadly, weren't perfectionists. were able to find, Ogg was frequently banished from his tribe for writing his work down, rather than remembering it like everyone else, for not worshiping the sun (as he knew it was just a big ball of fire), and for inventing fire and not sharing. He was eventually sentenced to death, but he mysteriously vanishedSome historians theorize that Ogg had invented time-travel, but was exiled before he could tell anyone and use it to escape into an unknown period of time. the night they tried to kill him, and Ogg's genius was lost to the world forever. His was survived by his children, who ran away when Ogg was "killed" and joined anothoer distant tribe, and his descendants multiplied into the bounty of perfectionists there are today.
Wait, there's something else I'm forgetting about History... oh, right! Sorry! Here, let's try this information:
The terms "Perfectionist" and "Perfectionism" were invented coined by early linguist and perfectionist Jakob Grime (circa September 20, 1863-January 4, 1785 BC), when he noticed several thousands of people in history had an unhealthy and unruly weird peculiar obsession interest in being perfect perfection. 
Okay, hold on! This says nothing about what he did! Fix that, please!
—He decided that such people and their "study" needed a name, and initially decided to call them "Perfectologists" and "Perfectology". Then "Strivers" and "Strivationism". Then "Correctors" and "Correctationism". And still kept coming up with new, better, and more sensible words. He continued seeking the right words, and, on January 4, 1785 BC, he discovered realized had an epiphany: "I have it! We'll call them Perfecteers who are involved in Perfectionism!"Sadly, no one ever heard it but Jakob's wife, who got all the credit for creating the phrase., then died of a heart attack from his excitement. While "perfectioneers" never really caught on, perfectionism quickly wove its way into modern English, and gave birth to the grammatically-correct term "Perfectionists".
...what? That's it? No snazzy conclusion line? We can't end a section like this! It's just... boring! Here, I'll fix that!
Thus perfectionism was alive born CREATED WHATEVER MAKES SENSE! GAH!
No, wait, come back! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't get mad at me, please! I won't do it again, I promise! ...
...Oh, thank you. Now, let's move on!
==Physical Traits==
You can tell if a peerson is a perfectionist by several chararacteristics in his or she her personality, his/her habits and, sometimes, his/her physical appearance.
...no, wait a second, maybe that's too... professional and stuck-up. What if a complete idiot shows up and reads this?!? Maybe if I put it in layman's terms they'd understand...
-I mean, you can tell if someone is obsesssed with being perfect by telling what kind of a person they are, what kind of strange things they do when they think no one's looking, and how attractive- I, mean, how they look.
...no, now it's too... unprofessional. Isn't Uncyclopedia supposed to be a pillar of truth and honesty? Answer: No. So, shouldn't there be like, I dunno, a list?
Anyway, if you still can't tell how to spot a perfectionist by now, remember to look for strange patterns in the following areas:
*Personality
*Habits
*Physical Appearance
No, wait, I still have to think about if there's any other mis —

The first step in identifying a perfectionist is to look at a person's social life. Ask yourself: "Does this person spend lots and lots of time locked up in a small room with a magnifying glass while analyzing every single fiber of a painting?" If your answer is yes, you should investigate further; is the work this person is obsessing over belong to him her it them? If not, you've found a perfectionist. Not sure exactly why you wanted to, but, still, congratulations!
...AND...?
—And also, a perfectionist may seem to be unfocused uninterested in discussions conversations with other people, and usually often spends time alone isolated. Frequently Normally, this is because a perfectionist may want to ponder over the last picture drawing thing piece of art work he she it the perfectionist did completed. Perfectionists have been known to commit minor crimes in order to go to jail (or time-out, if the perfectionist is very young) to achieve such alone time, so perfectionists tend to be drug dealers, arsonists, murderers, and bank robbers, which has a significant impact on their personality. However, this isn't a sure sign, as criminals can also be just plain mad.
Are you saying that perfectionists are all scumbags?! How DARE you! That's it, I'M taking over!

Well, at least you got ONE thing right!
==Physical Appearance==
Perfectionists are, in a two three words, very, VERY nerdy. If you're trying to find a perfectionist just by looking at him, I've created got made prepared a checklist of traits characteristics to look search quest check for:
#A Magnifying Glass— A perfectionist can't make sure there are no brushstrokes out of place on a poster without a magnifying glass at the ready every moment of the day.
#Spray Paint— Should there be something wrong with a large document (like a billboard), how will people know something's wrong if the perfectionist can't show them?!?
#Pale, Pale Skin— An unfortunate side-affect from hiding in the basement for months on end correcting the background of the Mona Lisa.
#Nerdy Apparel— Perfectionists paid attention in school just so they could correct the teacher. Being a nerd is another side-affect to this small pleasure some most all perfectionists engage in.
#No Glasses— Glasses, though nerdy, get in the way of the magnifying glass. All perfectionists wear contacts.
#Braces/Signs of Braces — Nerdy + Perfect Teeth = A perfectionist MUST-HAVE!!!!
#Good Hygiene— Perfect hygiene is still perfect.
#Bruises/Cuts/Scars— Perfectionists are advocates of self-discipline, though not a figuratively as one might think...
#Bags— You may need to borrow the perfectionist's magnifying glass to see them through the make-up, but no amount of cosmetics can fully erase the proof of the perfectionist working night and day to proofread through the Bible.
#Perfect Features— If the perfectionist isn't born with 'em, there's always plastic surgery.
