There's also something called obsessive compulsive personality disorder. A person with this is going to be preoccupied with order, lists, and perfection; very rigid in their daily habits (absolutely has to eat breakfast at 8:30, or something like that) and somewhat of a workaholic. What differentiates this from OCD is that it's more of a lifelong pervasive thing. Some OCD people are actually somewhat sloppy in the non obsessive aspects of their life. People with OCPD are not.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for posting this! A lot of people don't realize the difference in OCD & OCPD! I was diagnosed with OCPD a few years ago but it certainly isn't a bad thing. Its just the way I am!
