I just read a online article about a research study that showed that you can tell a person political temperament based on how their room/office/living space was decorated.
Here is a quote,
"Your office or bedroom holds telltale signs of whether you are a conservative or a liberal, finds a new study. While political conservatives tend to keep a tidy, organized office, political liberals favor colorful, more stylish but cluttered spaces."
Another,
"Conservative rooms tended to be cleaner, more brightly lit, better organized, less cluttered, and also more conventional and ordinary in terms of decoration," Jost said during a panel discussion on "The Neuroscience of Elections and Human Decision-Making" at NYU, adding: "Conservatives' rooms were rated by independent raters as better organized and tidier in general."
Specifically, individuals who reported a more conservative ideology also had bedrooms that contained more organizational and cleaning supplies, including calendars, postage stamps, ironing boards and laundry baskets.
Liberals' rooms on the other hand were marked by more clutter, including more CDs, a greater variety of CDs, a greater variety of books and more color in the room in general."
I wonder if this idea of political personalities can be transfered to the faith community, could it be that our view of God, church, faith be really influenced by our personality rather than theological truth.

Well, that's just great - I'm raising three EXTREMELY liberal teenage boys!

Well I must be caught between both worlds. I'm a neat clean freak! I hate clutter, drive me crazy!
I guess you are really a moderate.
