1. What is on the walls of your office?
|
|
Nothing. All of your pictures are propped up against the wall waiting for you to decide the perfect place to hang them. |
|
Not sure – the layer of dust on them is so thick you can't remember what's there. |
|
Children's art work, college pennants, and family reunion pictures. |
|
Floor to ceiling filing cabinets. |
|
Windows 95 promotional posters |
|
Wall art…right… when exactly am I supposed to get around to that? |
2. When people walk into your office, the first thing they say is:
|
|
Why is there a clock on the floor? |
|
What's that smell? |
|
Is that a lawn chair? |
|
I hope you have fire insurance. |
|
Oh my god, you have an IBM 5110? Does it work? |
|
Is there a desk somewhere under there? |
3. Choose the statement that most agrees with your philosophy:
|
|
Look before you leap. Why get all settled in before you're 100% sure where you want everything to go? |
|
The world is too worried about germs. Germs are good for you - it's because of all you germaphobes that we have super flus. |
|
I would rather have 1 thing that did 10 things than 10 things that did 1 thing each. |
|
If it's important enough to write down or print off, it's important enough to file and keep. |
|
Why would I throw it away? I might need it again. I could, it's possible… |
|
It's not a mess if I know where everything is. |
4. When the phone rings you:
|
|
Check the caller ID before you'd ever think of answering it. |
|
Check the receiver for sticky substances before putting it to your ear. |
|
Yell "Where did you leave the phone" to your teenager daughter. |
|
Hit record on your Dynametric device. |
|
Walk over to the wall where the land line is installed and hope you don't trip over the 25-foot cord on the way back to the desk. |
|
Follow the sound of the ring to the pile of paper it's buried under. |
5. When checking your messages you:
|
|
Say the number in your head over and over while waiting for the message to end and then dial it immediately so you don't have to bother writing it down. |
|
Write the number and message around the coffee stain on your note pad. |
|
Search frantically for a pen while muttering under your breath about people coming into your office and taking your stuff. |
|
Carefully note down the date, time of call, name, and number of the caller along with the message verbatim and the points you would like to make when returning the call. |
|
Always use your lucky "I Adore My 64" pen |
|
Put the information on a post-it note and stick to your monitor. |
6. The trait you pride yourself most on is your:
|
|
Prudent nature |
|
Bravery |
|
Multi-tasking ability |
|
Attention to detail |
|
Loyalty |
|
The ability to do more in an hour than most can do in a day. |
7. When someone comments on your messy office your reply sounds most like:
|
|
I just don't see the point of organizing when I'm not sure where I want everything to go, I don't want to have to do the whole thing again. |
|
It's not really messy, it's just a few dishes and some dust bunnies. I barely even notice it. |
|
My office wouldn't be messy if the rest of you would keep your crap out of it! |
|
How do you know my office is messy? Were you in there? Did you touch anything? Show me exactly what you touched! |
|
This isn't a mess! People would pay a fortune for this stuff on eBay. |
|
It's not really messy, it just looks that way. I actually know exactly where everything is. |
8. Choose the word or phrase that you feel best describes your office:
|
|
Functional and practical |
|
Lived-in |
|
Cluttered |
|
Safe |
|
Interesting and Educational |
|
Modern and streamlined |
9. If you could have something invented just for you and your office, what would it most likely be:
|
|
Something that could take the whole room and shrink it down to a size you could put in your pocket. |
|
A robot maid that picked up coffee cups and replaced them with clean ones. |
|
A magic room that completely changes depending on what you needed it for. Setting 1 is office, Setting 2 is guest bedroom, Setting 3 is mini storage. |
|
Photographic memory, so you could remember everything you ever read or anything anyone ever said to you. |
|
A time traveling device so you could go back into the past and get parts for things you still like but can't use anymore because they stopped making them. |
|
One of those things like that girl in Harry Potter had that allowed her to shift time so she could be in several places at once. |
10. Which design style best describes your office:
|
|
Minimalist |

Messy Gothic |

|
Disorganized Nostalgia |
|
Shabby Chic |
