How strong is your Need-For-Closure?
64 - 90 CLOSURE ADDICT
You have a high need for closure. You make decisions quickly, and believe that having clear rules and order at work is essential to success. Dining out, you usually eat at restaurants you’ve already been to. You tend to stick to your familiar friends, and might benefit from spending time around people with diverse viewpoints. Ultimately, a high need for closure is sometimes a good thing: it can make us commit more firmly to ideas, beliefs, and actions.

Hahahaha. I knew that. I was wondering why I was taking the quiz, even, when I already knew the answer. I need closure. I can't stand uncertainty. When I am forced into uncertain circumstances, my anxiety shoots up through the roof.
With one amendment.
I don't actually make decisions quickly! I angst and fret and dither and hesitate and second-guess. Of course it makes me as anxious as a kicked hive, but I can't stop myself from fretting and dithering.
This is possibly the worst case for a closure addict, then: needing closure but being unable to not second-guess herself. But wouldn't the need for closure go hand in hand with perfectionism, which is why I dither on my decisions (because they have to be perfect)?
