Domestic Personality Test

Are you a domestic tyrant? A bathroom Nazi?

Maybe you're a household anarchist and you didn't know it?

Not sure? Well the following personality test might just give you an insight into what you're like to live with.

Do it on your own, so no-one, other than us, knows your dirty secrets. Or do it in the company of your house-mates, partner or family. Try using the test as a tool for screening potential housemates. Or if you want to give a current housemate a ‘heads-up' about their habits, then do the test on their behalf and e-mail the results through to them.

Your test results also contribute to these lists of most popular domestic crimes ( if that's the right word to use... )

Instructions:

+ Browse the following list of domestic crime-scene descriptions.
+ Check off the ones that are Pet Hates, or those where you Offend Regularly.
+ There is no need to respond for every crime, just those you have an opinion on.
+ Once finished, press the submit button. If you haven't already, you will be prompted to enter your sex.
+ Your domestic demeanour will then be determined and displayed!
