What Does Your Computer Desktop Say About You?
...... what are we unconsciously saying about ourselves when we use the computer? Are we confident or do we have big egos? Are we insecure, or shy?
One way to find out is to analyze your computer desktop. According to a study in desktop psychology, everything from your habits to your ambitions may be revealed just by looking at your desktop icons and background. "Our desktops are our personal space and as such provide a fairly accurate personality description of an individual," says Donna Dawson, a personality and behavior psychologist.
Have icons evenly placed on each side of the screen? Chances are you like everything in its place and well-proportioned and stay calm in stressful situations. If you have icons all over the desktop, then it's likely you're disorganized and unfocused. Use a personal photo as your desktop background? It's likely you are a parent or frequent traveler. If you're one of those folks who just opts for the plain blue wallpaper that comes with your computer, then you probably like to keep your private life private.
LOL, I have my icons in a row on either side of my desktop but I don't know about being calm in stressful situations. I have found the worse the situation the more calm I am. Go figure ...

Or perhaps I found a better way to get through life? I don't think privacy has much to do with it...

I have 2 short rows both evenly spaced on the left of my screen and if there is something I want to refer back to but don't want to save I will send a shortcut to the desktop and delete when I'm through.. I always have a picture there, usually personal but I also use beautiful scenery...
I just wish my closets were as neat though  |

Ditto. Wouldn't it be nice if was as easy as keeping a desktop neat?
Without keys and a mouse I'm helpless.
