What is your favorite place in your house?

They say that "home is where the heart is." As it turns out, home is where the heart is—and where a whole lot more is, too. According to a whole compendium of new research, what your home looks like—the color it's painted, the photos on your wall, the state of cleanliness and order (or absence of)—can reveal a whole lot about your personality.

compendium - сборник

reveal - показывать

Take your refrigerator, for instance. You might not think twice about overstocking your fridge with unnecessary food, but experts say that this indicates that someone is outgoing and enjoys entertaining. And your bed? If you're one of folks who makes their bed before heading out for the day, you're likely also someone who enjoys their job. But that's not all!

overstocking - затоваривать, запасы

makes a bed - заправлять постель

heading out for - провести

A well-kept garden means that you are happy.

80 percent of people with gardens are happy with their lives, compared to just two-thirds of those lacking the green thumb. What's more, 90 percent of respondents noted that gardening improves their mood.

**A neat bed means that you love your job**

What do a well-made bed and going to the gym have to do with one another? Quite a bit, evidently. One survey of nearly 70,000 people found that those who keep their bed tidy are more likely to hit the gym on a regular basis. What's more, these people are also more likely to enjoy their 9-to-5s. The experts believe this may have something to do with the fact that happier people tend to keep their lives more organized.

neat - аккуратный

evidently - очевидно

9-to-5 - working hours (с 9:00-17:00 - рабочее время)
