maximizers
Those wanting most
Maximizers are people who seek the best possible option rather than one that's good enough.
In decision-making psychology, maximizers contrast with satisficers—those who accept adequate choices.
A maximizer might research dozens of products before purchasing, always wondering if something better exists: Maximizers spend hours comparing reviews before buying anything.
The term extends to optimization strategies generally.
