Answer 1

I don't know the name of the actual disorder, but I know people like that are commonly referred to as perfectionist.

Answer 2

This type of person could have an obsessive personality and perfectionism oftens goes hand in hand with this type of disorder.  Actually, the disorder is called Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD.

Here is an excerpt from "BBC -Science & Nature: Human Body & Mind - Obsessive behavior: the facts" (See link):

Obsessive personality:

Researchers have found that people with OCD often score very highly for particular personality traits. These include:

Neuroticism - anxious and keen to avoid dangerous situations

Impulsivity - a tendency to engage in activities that bring instant gratification

Responsibility - an exaggerated sense of responsibility for their actions

Indecisiveness - a tendency to take time in making decisions

Perfectionism - a need to get everything to feel right

Perfectionism is one of the most common personality traits in OCD. Indeed, some researchers have described obsessive-compulsives as the ultimate perfectionists:

OCD is an illness that causes people to have unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and to repeat certain behaviors (compulsions) over and over again. We all have habits and routines in our daily lives, such as brushing our teeth before bed. However, for people with OCD, patterns of behavior get in the way of their daily lives.  Most people with OCD know that their obsessions and compulsions make no sense, but they can't ignore or stop them.

What are obsessions?

Obsessions are ideas, images and impulses that run through the person's mind over and over again. A person with OCD doesn't want to have these thoughts and finds them disturbing, but he or she can't control them. Sometimes these thoughts just come once in a while and are only mildly annoying. Other times, a person who has OCD will have obsessive thoughts all the time.

What are compulsions?

Obsessive thoughts make people who have OCD feel nervous and afraid. They try to get rid of these feelings by performing certain behaviors according to "rules" that they make up for themselves. These behaviors are called compulsions. (Compulsive behaviors are sometimes also called rituals.) For example, a person who has OCD may have obsessive thoughts about germs. Because of these thoughts, the person may wash his or her hands repeatedly after using a public toilet. Performing these behaviors usually only makes the nervous feelings go away for a short time. When the fear and nervousness return, the person who has OCD repeats the routine all over again.

There is a list of common obsessions with people who have this disorder and one is:

●  Worry that a task has been done poorly, even when the person knows this is not true.

The above obsessive behavior is very similar to the example in your post.  There is a wide range of behavior associated with OCD and one person's symptoms may be very mild and another person's symptoms may be more serious and severe.

The following web site is called "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: What It Is and How to Treat It - familydoctor.org:

People with OCD generally attempt to hide their problem rather than seek help. Often they are remarkably successful in concealing their obsessive-compulsive symptoms from friends and co-workers. An unfortunate consequence of this secrecy is that people with OCD generally do not receive professional help until years after the onset of their disease. By that time, the obsessive-compulsive rituals may be deeply ingrained and very difficult to change.

OCD is often described as "a disease of doubt." Sufferers experience "pathological doubt" because they are unable to distinguish between what is possible, what is probable, and what is unlikely to happen.

I don't know if you are wondering about yourself in your post or someone else.  The following web site is called "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Self Test anxiety disorder.  If you suspect you may have OCD, take the test, then print it out and share the results with a health care professional:
