• The White Glove Guru: You hold things to a higher standard and order is important. You have a particularly clean home-and that includes the garage.
• Grab-and-Go Girl: You have small children, lots of friends and plenty to do. Your hectic schedule demands that everything be in its proper place. You want a garage that is organized, and one in which everything is within arm's reach.

His Garage
• Power Player: You like to win and work hard in your personal and professional life. You realize the garage is the only room in your house that the neighbors see, and you want it to be impressive.
• Family Man: Spending time with your family is your focus. You use the garage to keep items ranging from baseball mitts to garden tools. That means keeping the garage organized and safe is important to you.
• Boy With Toys: You love speed, excitement and adrenaline-charged "toys." You keep the garage pristine because it's the showcase for your toys-a sports car, motorcycle and/or boat.
"It's been our experience that most homeowners, male and female, are some combination of these qualities," says GarageTek's President Marc Shuman about the survey. Homeowners who take the free, one-minute garage personality test will receive suggestions about the best type of garage system to match their personality type.
They also get a list of essential organization components that their particular personality type tends to need. Then they can choose to contact a GarageTek expert, who can visit the homeowner to create a complimentary, 3-D rendering of a custom garage organization and storage system. The system can be installed in one to two days, according to Shuman. "Even a cluttered garage tells you a lot about the family that lives in that home. We took a process that is traditionally laborious and made it fun," says Shuman.
