Well, tbh, my perfectionism doesn't apply to areas where I'm relaxed (like with my husband and kids). Then I'm anything but perfectionistic, and my inbox looks messy too. I'm invisibly perfectionistic. Like, some years ago, I would have reread what I've written here 150 times to make sure it's "perfect". Now I don't care anymore. Also, the better I know someone, the less perfectionistic I am. And the more I'm with people I know and trust, the more relaxed I am. My ILE husband actually complained about it once - that I spend too much energy on pleasing people I don't care about, while the ones I love are left with the lazy, sloppy me. It hurt a bit, but I guess it's true. However, my emotional energy is spent on the people I care about.
I might very well be Ni subtype of IEI, though.
