There is some research suggesting that maximizers, people who insist on only the best, are less happy than satisficers, people who stop when they've found something that's good enough.[1] Perhaps it has something to do with how maximizers, due to their exhaustive research, know all the shortcomings of the thing they eventually choose. Anyway, this research is pre-replication crisis, so who knows if it has stood up, but I've found maximizer/satisficer to be a useful distinction.
