  What Does a Messy Room Say About Your Personality? Is your mental health or personality the reason for the mess? Organization is big business these days. From books to seminars to organizational systems, everyone seems to want to find some way to perfectly arrange every aspect of their lives. Have you ever walked into a messy house (or contemplated your cluttered abode) and thought, "Why?" There are many reasons a person might not clean their house, including mental health, personality, and stress. Do you ever dream of living in the perfectly clean and organized rooms of a home décor catalog? Or would you rather spend your time in a home cluttered with objects, souvenirs, books, art, and items that make up your daily life?
