As far as paranoia goes, one of my mentors once told me that a mild degree was a useful attribute for a system administrator. It tends to make one spend more time thinking about what CAN go wrong, which is great if you actually put the results into practice.
A buddy of mine, who was the sr. systems and network admin I worked with 10 years ago, used to say he was professionally paid to be paranoid.

'The question is not "Am I paranoid?", it is "Am I paranoid *enough*?"'
It's an old sysadmin adage.
