Obsessive-compulsive personality is a popular phrase to describe individuals that exhibit perfectionism, rigidity, overly cautious behavior, and an intense need for order and control. However, there are several synonyms for this personality type, such as anal retentive, type-A, control freak, and perfectionist. These terms are often used interchangeably to describe individuals who spend an excessive period worrying about small details and need to maintain a strict sense of order. They also have trouble delegating tasks since they believe they can execute them correctly than anyone else. Regardless of the term used, individuals with an obsessive-compulsive personality may struggle with social and professional relationships as their need for control over certain aspects of their lives may alienate them from others.
