Are you a Type O or a Type O-No!?

What is a Type O?
A Type O is someone who embraces organization with passion and a plan. Always coordinating and configuring into sensible systems, Type O’s elevate organization to an art-form. Whether alphabetically arranging kitchen spices or cooking up a new file system at work, Type O’s are-o- so-organized…and proud of it!

What is a Type O-No!?
A Type O-No! is someone who could use a little help on the organization front. Whether they lack the time, tips, or tools, Type O-No’s! have yet to be bitten by the organizing bug. Type O-No’s! are outlaws on the tidy trail, clutter criminals twice-over. If only they had the time and resources to get on the organization bandwagon
