High Scorers
Maximizers want the optimum outcome in every endeavour and choice. When they feel like they haven’t made the best decision, they’re more likely than others to experience regret.

While they may seem indecisive, Maximizers confidently know what they want — what they want just may annoyingly hard to find.
