Personality Profile – What Your Self Storage Style Says About You
You can tell a lot about a person from the clothes they wear, what they like to eat or watch or read but did you know that there’s one surefire way to nail someone’s personality to a T? To learn their inner workings, find a window into their soul?
Okay – maybe not their soul, but certainly their stuff and how they organise it – or not, as the case may be! So what does your self-storage style say about you?
The Organiser
Your unit:
Colour coding, clear plastic storage boxes stacked for easy access – it’s like stepping into an organised dream. You’ve created an index system, with spreadsheets broken down into categories and sub-categories. Your archiving methods rival the National Library and you optimise the use of every centimetre of space including wall hooks, shelving systems, and easy-access aisles. You love to categorize, alphabeticize, systemize, prioritize and label-ize everything in sight.
Your personality:
Reliable, structured and possibly a little obsessive, you thrive on order and control. Your family probably calls you ‘Captain Checklist’ behind your back, but you’re the very person they turn to when they need an all-important document!
The Big Softie
Your unit:
Looks like a museum storage room and feels like an emotional rollercoaster. Everywhere are boxes of pasta necklaces, brightly coloured drawings and broken toys. Your wedding dress is here. Along with your mum’s wedding dress. And your granny’s. It’s a total treasure trove that means nothing to anyone but you – photo albums, school yearbooks, souvenir plates, long-forgotten sporting trophies and the stuffed dog you slept with when you were three. And it’s a little disorganised because every time you try to sort through it you either end up lost down a rabbithole of family history, or having a sentimental cry.
Your personality:
Deeply nostalgic, highly emotional, reluctant to let anything go. You’re ‘Captain Throwback’ to some, but the Keeper of the Feels and family archivist to others. Just make sure you’ve got plenty of tissues to hand when you’re tidying up.
The ‘Some-Day Storer’
Your unit:
It looks like a rubbish tip of random items – spare parts, half-used cans of paint, old bits of furniture, nuts, bolts and so, so many cables!
Your personality:
You can’t bear waste, see potential in every little item and live for the day when you’re the one person in the world to produce the exact item that solves someone’s most random of problems. Some might call you ‘Captain Junk’, but you prefer to be the ‘Just Incase Genius’. After all, you never know when something might just come in handy!
The Strategist
Your unit:
Everything is in its place – for now. Your stored items are always on the move, however, as you employ your precise rotational system to make sure that what’s needed next is always easily accessible. It’s May? That means moving the paddling pool, the soccer goals and the mini trampoline to the front. End of October? Make way at the back for the light-up pumpkins and the six-foot scary clown because it’s almost time for the inflatable Santa and LED icicle lights to shine. You rotate like a finely-tuned turbine, making sure there’s never an ounce of clutter in your home and that every piece on the board is ready to play when it’s needed.
Your personality:
You’re so well-prepared that you can enjoy the benefits of thinking ahead at all times. You could be ‘Captain Predictable’ but your efficiency means you can rightly call yourself ‘Captain Smug’ with no apology needed!
The Entrepreneur
Your unit:
Boxes, boxes everywhere – barcodes and labels as far as the eye can see, all neatly stacked on organized shelving systems. Or maybe you’re stashing the tools of your trade, all ready to go for the next gig. Whether it’s pop-up shop supplies, market stall stock, advertising banners or specialist equipment, your unit means business.
Your personality:
Driven, ambitious, brave and always hustling, you’ve got a plan in place and the methods to make it happen. Watch out, world, ‘Captain Success Strategy’ is here!
The Minimalist
Your unit:
Art installation or storage space? There’s plenty of room to manouevre in your unit with just the two boxes and one empty suitcase that you keep in there. But that’s exactly how you like everything in your life – clutter free, neat as a pin and with space to breathe. So calming! Everything that’s in here is absolutely essential. There’s no time for nostalgia – your unit screams here and now. Marie Kondo eat your heart out!
Your personality:
You won’t be tied down by material possessions. You live only for the present, you crave order and organisation and can’t abide clutter. You’re ‘Captain Clearspace’ – nothing ties you down, nothing holds you back.
The Decoration Diva
Your unit:
It’s a slightly disorganised riot of fun, colour and magic. Tinsel here, black cats there, advance-bought gifts everywhere. There’s rolls of wrapping paper, boxes of lights, cases of ornaments – when you step inside this unit it’s like being a kid on Christmas Eve every single time!
Your personality:
Fun, festive, generous to a fault and a 100% believer in magic. You’re ‘Captain Celebration’, keeping that sparkle stored away all year round to guarantee that those special times – and memories – always happen!
The Chaos Collector
Your unit:
It’s a magical mystery museum in your storage unit. Unlabelled boxes, forgotten furniture, broken bits and garish gee-gaws. Who knows why you kept half of what’s in here and who on earth wants to find out what the other half is? It’s part fun, part Hammer House of Horror but a visit to your unit is always a voyage of discovery!
Your personality:
You’re spontaneous, forgetful, delightfully disorganised and with more quirks than that faulty cuckoo clock you chucked in here in the 90’s. You’re ‘Captain Chaos’ – but in the best possible way!
Your self-storage unit isn’t just a place to keep your stuff, it’s a snapshot of your story. From organiser to chuck-it-in-pull-the-shutter-down-fast, your personality is in your storage style – so don’t ever change!
