See the answer to this question: Is there a term that describes the personality trait of always desiring more?Schwartz and colleagues (2002) have proposed that people fall into two  groups: those who seek to maximize their decision by finding the very  best option out of choices presented (maximizers), and those who have  an idea in mind of what would be an acceptable option and settle for  the first choice that surpasses their expectations (satisficers).  Maximizers are always on the look out for the best, are less  satisfied with their choices, more likely to socially compare their  options to others, and more likely to experience regret (Ma & Roese,  2014). Another recent publication proposed that when individuals  experience choice closure, and stop re-evaluating the non-selected  alternative options, satisfaction with choice can increase (Gu, Botti,  & Farro, 2013).Is it possible to state that looking for challenges and being a maximizer can be correlated to a low selfesteem?
Is low self esteem pushing person toward maximizing (instead of being easily satisfied)
