Looking for a shortcut to deciphering someone’s personality? Want to know what your work colleagues are really like? take a look at their desk space. According to Lily Bernheimer, author of a book on environmental psychology, the way your desk looks gives away an awful lot of information about your inner life.

In the following article by Adam Boult, he explains in detail what information can be gathered from a person’s workspace. Here’re five identifiable ‘types’.

The state of your office desk can reveal lot about your personality

Lily was recently commissioned by Headspace Group to produce an “evidence-based breakdown” of what information can be gathered from a person’s workspace.

She identified five identifiable ‘types’. Do they ring true for you?

Clutterer

“Cluttered, chaotic, colorful: this is the desk of an extrovert. Extroverts are excitement seekers and get easily bored without stimulation so they like to surround themselves with bright lights, materials and knickknacks related to their many activities, and warm, saturated colours like red. They have a high need for social interaction, and less need for personal space, so you may find their desk at the circulation crossroads where they can catch people passing by. Extroverts tend to be assertive, cheerful, and above all, friendly. Notice a welcoming extra chair, or candy bowl? These features invite people in to stop and chat. But with their days so busy, extraverts often don’t have enough time to tidy up! While you might think that a cluttered workspace would scare people away, a controlled amount of clutter is actually more inviting than either a sparse space or an overstuffed one.” See full post here:
