Am I Organized?
Believe it or not, Interior Designers have to be extremely well organized to be able to handle all of the little details that go into doing a good job. You have to be able to keep track of your entire inventory, while keeping on top of other things also like, materials, tracking orders, employees, and making sure that you stay on or below the budget that your client set out for you.
It is no easy feat to try and keep track of all the things that have to be done; especially when youve got people constantly surrounding you. You must monitor what everyone is doing and still manage to keep up on what you should be doing. Do not forget that you also have to appear calm because your clients will likely be asking you a great deal of questions. If you are scattered and panicked, it will be difficult to answer all the questions and look cool at the same time.
The ability to know where everything is at, and where every person is at is another aspect of organization. It is very hard to keep jobs if you are constantly wondering where things, and employees are.
You will need to be very well organized if your design projects lead you to having to add or remove a room and/or wall. This type of work requires the use of blueprints. You must be able to read them as well as draw them up, you cannot do this without a great sense of organization.
(may lose incentive) Never underestimate the power of Feng Shui.

How Good am I at Problem Solving?
Thoughts have a way of being cluttered when your work space is likewise. It can be a great way to promote your design services, and make a little bit of extra money. This type of work is generally for the designer that is in love with the aspect of being creative, rather than the need to be rich. It is best not to price yourself too high in the beginning because you are not a bankable name yet.
