Great worksheet. If I were going to have housemates I would definitely use this as a set point for an interview.

I was fine with your answers for the most part. We are not going to be exactly alike. I am sure we can work something out with a house duty schedule. What chores do you dislike doing?

I like the tv, music, radio and also the bathroom cleanliness questions. Those are all important to me and I would have never guessed to ask about the bathroom or the radio. Silence especially is the most important thing to me. I also always thought I was pretty good keeping the dishes clean, but it turns out I am average.

Hi there,
Well the point of the questionnaire is to help people think of things that they wouldn’t have thought to. However, there’s no “average” here. There’s only what is true about you, so that you can use your answers to compare with a potential housemate. Good luck!
