On which side of the spectrum are you rather, chaotic or organised?

Exactly this!^^I try very hard to not make messes to begin with because when I allow it to happen it pretty much stays that way for a good while.
My intent is organization. My execution is semi-chaotic.

Hmm, she's interested in the design, aesthetic and shape of a space in the same way, but is much more concerned with 'clean and tidy'. She can't really bear untidiness, though you'd never know because she isn't 'in your face' about it. She cleans up and organises things to de-stress sometimes, and might rearrange a room I think to give that sense of 'a fresh start' (which I do too).@Deleted member 16771 - that sounds a lot like my house. Both my SO and I are similar. Is your INFJ SO similar?

When I tidy up properly, I enjoy it for the sense of accomplishment and perfection, but she really enjoys it a whole lot more. Sometimes she's like a tidy elf; I'll leave the room briefly, only to return and notice that things look different, but she somehow hasn't moved, or I'll realise later that my undershirts have been folded... She actually enjoys washing up after dinner more than cooking, which is ideal for me because I like cooking but washing up is a chore (except polishing and oiling the wok... I like that for some reason).
What type is your SO, Asa?
Yeah, I don't mean 'an elf who is tidy', I mean 'part of the subspecies of tidy elves'; it's their core being. I noticed one day that she'd literally favourited a show on Netflix about tidying up.a tidy elf
