"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.

Re: Our Surroundings reveal Liberal/Conservative

Suzie Orman said yesterday, that people in debt are usually very messy in other parts of their lives including their surroundings, and people who are not in debt are usually very neat in other areas of their lives. What does that say!!!!!!!!
