Are you a hoarder or a minimalist?

I switch from both

Definitely a MINIMALIST. Drives my poor InTP husband bonkers...I throw shit away - he takes it out again!!!!! He questions me every time I throw something away. I want to just kick his byte when he's like that.

I'd say hoarder. I find a lot of things unique, interesting, or inspirational, and I tend to surround myself in things that I like. I do have spurts of "I don't really need any of this stuff... or I don't like this anymore.." sort of things, where I give away, sell, minimize, etc. But I can't say I'm a minimalist when my room is neatly compacted with anything and everything.

Seriously, who else but me needs a mint-condition copy of Hero's Quest?

hoarder I swear everytime I throw something out because I don't think I'll ever use it, it's exactly what I need. and it's annoying to realize if you had saved that you would be set but nooo now you have to drag your ass to the store.

There's one in my family. I used to love that game. Woot, the Dwarf!

Same. When I moved I adopted a zero tolerence military operation (well, almost) and got rid of a few things that would be handy.

I voted 'hoarder' but I don't really think of myself as one. My space is quite cluttered, and I've got tons of old crap I don't need anymore, but that's more because I don't care enough about having a neat space to do anything about it. It's not that I intentionally hold onto things or have a sentimental attachment to old stuff.

An exception is books. If I read a book I like, I want to keep it. I want to read the parts I that engaged me over and over, to have them available. I've been that way since I was a child, and my mother never understood it. She'd always say, "You've already read them. What do you need them around for?" And I don't understand why people would get rid of books they like. I can't imagine not having a shelf full of them.
