Desktop Personality

I thought this was an interesting analysis:

Your Work Desk

Your work desk may reveal your personality. Psychologist Richard Bartram examined over 2,000 desktops in corporate America. Here are his results:


THE CREATIVE CHAOS DESKTOP:

Papers, Notes and books are strewn all over. This persons goes for the gusto– works hard –plays hard.

My Desktop
(My desk right now. Books: Chicken Soup for the Military Wife’s Soul – no, I’m not a military wife but I love chicken soup stores – The Writer’s Book of Matches – writing prompts – and On Writing Romance – because yes, I like to write romance stories. You can also see my Baby Blues’ calendar, MK’s out-of-town jazz festival schedule, scratch paper, and animal crackers because that is my drug of choice right now. Actually, it doesn’t look too bad right now. It’s usually so cluttered that you can’t see even one square inch of glass).

My desk is definitely the Creative Chaos desktop. That’s ALL I have strewn over my desk – notes and books. Though my desktop usually devolves into the slightly messy desktop after a week or two because yes! I only clean my desk off about twice a month because I’m super lazy like that. *grin*


THE PERSONALITY PLUS DESKTOP:

It’s covered with photos and trinkets, this desk reveals an optimistic person with a sunny personality. These people put work, family and pleasure all in the proper perspective.

THE IMMACULATE DESKTOP:

Although it may look nice, this employee usually feels under appreciated at work or at home

THE TROPHY DESKTOP:

Each item is strategically placed for maximum effect. This desk belongs to a goal oriented, ambitious employee. Caution: These workers tend to have big Egos and may be hard to get along with.

THE SLIGHTLY MESSY DESKTOP:

This desk belongs to a dependable person who takes their professional and personal responsibilities very seriously. No matter what it takes, they always get the job done.

What does your desktop look like?

Welcome to the FIRST In My Opinion!! Did you answer the questions? I hope so! I went ahead and answered all three, but I think, in the future, I’m only going to answer two questions because trying to answer all three was really … time consuming!

Here are the questions for this week:

1. How would a woman president be different from a man?

2. If you only had one more year to live, what would you change about your life?

3. How do you think you’ll be different when you attend your 20-year high school reunion? OR, if you’re past that point, like me, compare who you are now to the person you were back in high school. How have you changed?

And here is my video response to these questions:

See? If I can be a dork, then YOU can be a dork! We’ll be dorks together!! But seriously, I had too much fun taping that (and I taped it over like 15 times!!), and I hope you had fun watching it and I hope my children/grandchildren treasure it someday. Because really, that’s what In My Opinion is all about – leaving a bit of you behind.


Ready for next week’s questions? Brace yourself …
