FAQs

What is a mess tolerance quiz for couples?

It’s a quiz that helps you compare how much clutter each of you can comfortably live with and what shared-space standards feel fair.

What if one of us is naturally messier?

That’s common. The goal is a shared baseline for shared spaces (like counters/table) and ownership for problem zones, not identical habits.

Is this the same as a chores quiz?

It’s related, but more specific: it focuses on thresholds and standards (what feels stressful vs fine), which often drives conflict.

Do we need to be “company-ready” all the time?

No. Most couples do best with one or two standards and a small reset rhythm, not constant perfection.

How long does it take?

Most couples finish in 4–8 minutes.
