Taking the “What’s Your Home Organization Style?” quiz is a fun way to discover your personal preferences when it comes to keeping your home tidy.

How The Organizational Quiz Works

As you click the “Next” button to begin, a progress bar at the top keeps you updated on how far you’ve come on this journey of self-discovery. One by one, questions appear that really make you think about your cleaning and storage habits – do you tend to keep only the bare essentials out or do your shelves bend under the weight of your collections? You click the choice reflecting your own style, seeing the progress bar incrementally fill after each response.

Behind the scenes, each answer is associated with a value that corresponds to organizational approaches like “Minimalist” or “Sentimental.” By tallying your answers, the quiz builds an understanding of how often you select options aligned to each tendency. Once you reach the final question and submit your response, these totals are calculated into percentages that reflect the distribution of your choices.

The organizing style with the highest percentage, whether it be “Maximalist” or “Balanced,” reveals itself at the end as your dominant home organization archetype. An accompanying image encapsulates your most closely-aligned type for a touch of friendly visual flair. Essentially, this quiz figures out your organizational persona based on how you respond to realistic domestic scenarios. Discovering your style can bring some clarity the next time you open that overflowing closet!
