decorating for your personality type

http://covetgarden.com
I think this is so clever! http://mrsfancee.com/decorating-personality/ This blogger has written a post on decorating for each personality type. I definitely recognized myself in the INFJ post, especially the desire to have orderly chaos, and how I'm continually trying to perfect my system.  What do y'all think? Do you see yourself? Do you think she's accurate? What is your personality type? If you don't know, you can take the test: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp (After you complete the test and click "score it!" a new window will open. Click on "type description by D.Keirsey" link and it will describe your personality according to the test.) This may put us in categories or boxes that we don't quite fit into all of the time, but it is helpful to know what drives you, and it helps me with empathy towards others by better understanding their personality. Let me know what type you are and how this looks in your home.

I got INTJ and here is the decor for that personality http://mrsfancee.com/intj-decorating-mastermind/

Although it makes me sound much too ambitious and well-thought-out yet unorthodox at the same time. Hmmm... maybe I answered some of the questions wrong.

Also, the description sounded nothing like me, until the last sentence :)

When you took it before you got ENTJ. Maybe it depends on your mood. :) Some of the ENTJ description reminded me of you: "You view the world as full of possibilities where there are challenges to overcome" and "You particularly enjoy lively and challenging conversations with others, especially if they are in the context of organizational meetings that you direct. Whether it’s for three friends getting together to discuss the latest twist in a mystery novel, or fifteen people meeting to discuss the future of the home-owner’s society, facilitate a place where stimulating discussion can occur" reminded me of your study groups. But are you like this? "You have the ability to take in large amounts of data (or an overwhelming amount of un-decorated wall space, for instance) and process it quickly and meaningfully." I need to get to know you better! ;)

Also, the ENTJ makes more sense if you look at motherhood as your "career". Do you know Drew's personality type? I'll try and guess it...

Haha that does sound a lot like me. Right now especially the large amounts of undecorated wall space :)
