What Does Your Inbox Say About You?

I came across something interesting on the Monster Blog today that I thought I’d share. The Center for Internet Behavior (yes, it exists) released a report on how your inbox reflects you.

I don’t know how much of this should be taken too seriously, but it is at least fun to consider.

First of all, according to the CIBC, “if you keep your inbox full rather than empty, it may mean you keep your life cluttered in other ways. Do you cling to the past? Do you have a lot of unfinished business in your life?”

Conversely, if you keep your inbox obsessively clean “you may be so quick to move on that you miss opportunities and ignore nuances. Or your compulsion for order may be sapping your energy from other endeavors.”
