We Found The Perfect Thing to Organize Your Home, Based on Your Enneagram Personality Type

They say there’s an organizing solution out there for every personality. Well, maybe they don’t. But if you’re befuddled by the amount of organizing products out there, your personality might be a good compass to find just the right solution for your lifestyle. To get started, look no further than The Enneagram, a popular personality test based on nine distinct numbered temperaments.

First things first: If you haven’t taken a free online Enneagram test yet, do that now. Then, check out the organizing solution that perfectly suits your personality: 

Driven by a strong sense of right and wrong, Ones like to do things by the books. As for aesthetics, these perfectionist personalities are suckers for classic design with functional features. The same principle applies for organization: Because Ones are drawn to function over form, they’ll opt for a more systematic, orderly solution—like this spice rack that comes with all the labels.

Ultra-empathetic and outward focused, Twos will drop anything to make you feel loved—every corner of their homes is likely set up strategically to make guests and loved ones feel cozy and welcome. This homey, collapsible storage basket is perfect for storing chunky blankets next to the couch (just don’t forget to turn the tea kettle on).

For Threes, appearances matter. That’s because this ambitious personality is motivated by prestige—they love to feel valuable and celebrated. What’s the perfect way to organize knick-knacks from exotic travels and precious family heirlooms? An attractive shadow box shelf, of course. 

Sensitive and poetic spirits, Fours are deeply connected to their emotions—don’t be surprised to find them fawning over college memories while streaming a highly-specific, curated playlist. As for organizing, Fours might seem uninterested in housekeeping, but a photo storage box for storing old love letters and pictures is sure to serve their sense of nostalgia. 

A bookshelf alone would be too obvious for always-learning Fives. No, this intellectual, super intelligent personality needs a book-storage option that allows them to escape the chaos of human interaction and hunker down with an old favorite, right this second. Thank goodness for a bench bookshelf that turns any area into a reading nook.

There’s no way around it: Responsible, security-focused sixes long for safety in every area of their lives, from their relationships to their homes. So why not opt for something that makes them feel, well, safe? For this anxiety-prone personality, an electronic safe will do the trick. 

Sevens are known for their zest and spontaneity. Like, “pick up an expensive hobby and then forget it about it” zest and spontaneity. To keep paint brushes, calligraphy pens, and Polaroid film from accumulating when the next passion surfaces, Sevens would be smart to invest in a rolling storage cart.

They may seem domineering, but Eights are just independent and confident. Because they like to feel some element of control over their environment, Eights would go for a cute storage ottoman. Yeah, it looks like a comfy place to rest your feet, but it’s actually a vault full of secrets (or living room clutter).

For nines, it’s all about harmony. Distinguished by their ultra-positive, easygoing personalities, nines stay out of the way by retreating to their inner worlds. The perfect organizing solution: An under-the-bed organizer that keeps bulky, out-of-season items out of the way, but accessible when you need them.
