    My ILI is not very neat and tidy in general, except in a few specifics where he's developed strong habits. Like brushing his teeth every morning-- he cannot not brush his teeth in the morning; like, we'll be on our way out the door with two minutes 'til church starts, and he has to run back inside to brush his teeth, he can't ignore it. His pockets are filled with useful things, like a pocket knife, chapstick, spare keys...and every item has its designated place.

    Other things, though...He'll walk in the door with something in his arms and just drop it into the first spot that looks good (but then, I do this, too). Or, he'll once in a while absentmindedly place something important-- like his glasses-- in a random place and forget where he put it.

    When I clean, I can go all out and get obsessive with it and don't stop. But that is like once a month. There has to be a reason for me to be clean, i.e. someone actually coming over or the chance that someone will come over.

    My house is always a mess but when someone comes over I feel the need to rush and put everything in its place. When I don't make it in time...slight defeat, but I continue anyway.

    I also tend to obsess over my hair before I go outside, I've gotten comments on this one.

    From my experience, ILIs are sanitary but not orderly.

    I like order most of the time.

    But I can also make a hell of a mess and don't care at all.

    He started carrying the chapstick while he was dating me, because I kept asking him if he had any

    Awwwww ... cute Chapstick story.

    I'm 98 percentish sure my mother is ILI, and she's reasonably neat, but of course, this assessment is coming from an IEI. What I can say is that she hates housework of all kinds but feels it has to be done. There are some things--spots, smells--in her house that I think are gross, honestly, because I'm really sensitive about that stuff and she has several pets. :\

    I also hate housework, but the difference (I think) between her and me is that she has coasted along for years doing the bare minimum and cannot see too clearly that things look iffy. I can see when things look bad, so I eventually hired someone to deep-clean my house every week, and then someone to help me organize (those days are over for now post-marriage). The other obvious difference is that I'm aesthetically oriented, so messes offend me on that level, but to my mother, making something neat has nothing much to do with making it look good (by my standards).
    LSI: “I still can’t figure out Pinterest.”

    Me: “It’s just, like, idea boards.”

    LSI: “I don’t have ideas.”
