A psychologist analyzed our personalities by looking at photos of our desks - here's how accurate we think she was

You may not realize it, but your desk might say a lot more about you than you'd think.

Without ever meeting me, environmental psychologist Lily Bernheimer looked at my desk and taught me a few things about myself.

Bernheimer, the cofounder and director of Space Works Consulting, a UK-based environmental psychology consultancy, holds an MS in Environmental Psychology from the University of Surrey and a BA from Brown University.

She is currently writing a book on the psychology of everyday spaces, "The Shaping of Us," to be published in 2017.
