conscientiousness. 	 When	attempting	to	gauge	someone's	conscientiousness,	be	aware	that sometimes	a	person	may	seem	organized,	and	have	implemented	a	system	of organization	such	as	a	filing	system	for	CDs,	complete	with	labels. 	Look	deeper to	ensure	whether	or	not	they	keep	up	with	this	system. 	Perhaps	they	spent	an afternoon	a	long	time	ago	creating	that	system,	but	now	the	CDs	are	out	of	order, and	some	are	sideways. 	A	person	high	on	conscientiousness	will	keep	up	with their	habits,	whereas	a	person	low	on	that	trait	will	fail	to. 	 When	in	someone's	house,	you	can	tell	if	a	person	has	a	dog	or	cat	if	there	are smudges	on	the	screen/glass	doors,	especially	the	back	door,	from	the	animal's nose. 	The	height	of	the	smudges	is	also	a	good	indication	of	the	size	of	the animal. 	 In	a	room	where	everything	indicates	a	right-handed	person	except	for	a	mug facing	the	left,	it	is	perhaps	because	the	person	multitasks	and	drinks	with	their left	hand. 	 Stickers	and	other	markings	such	as	drawings	on	the	furniture	around	the	house may	suggest	a	low	income	family;	richer	families	likely	forbid	their	kids	to	place stickers	on	their	expensive	furniture. 	 Another	potential	sign	of	a	low	income	family	(past	or	present)	is	a	great	amount of	clutter. 	Take	for	example	elderly	folk	who	may	have	grown	up	through	the Great	Depression:	they	once	had	next	to	nothing	to	their	name,	and	now	that they	live	in	a	time	where	they	can	collect	a	lot	of	things	in	their	home,	and	they tend	to	treasure	every	single	newspaper	or	ceramic	figurine	they	get	their	hands on. 	(Of	course,	some	younger	people	may	just	prefer	clutter	because	of	a personality	trait. ) 	 Clutter	may	also	be	a	sign	of	lack	of	planning,	or	a	generally absent-minded	person. 	A	messy	workspace	may	also	signal	someone	who	is creative	and	focused	on	their	work,	but	not	necessarily. 	There	are	many	reasons one	can	have	a	messy	workspace	or	living	area. 	 Check	if	any	light	bulbs	that	are	off	are	still	warm	to	tell	if	it	has	been	on recently.
