Living compatibility test
Twenty-four things that really happen in a flatshare: the unwashed dishes, Friday-night guests, noise on a Tuesday. Four minutes, no sign-up and no right answers. At the end you see your living profile and, if you want, which flatmates you fit with.
24 situations · 4 minutes · no sign-up
The kitchen has been sitting with dirty dishes since yesterday. They aren't yours.
What the living compatibility test measures
It doesn't measure whether you're a good flatmate: it measures how you live. Each situation scores one of these eight dimensions, and together they make up your living profile. Two people fit when their profiles are alike where it matters, not when both of them are “easy-going”.
- Tidiness
- How much the state of shared spaces affects you.
- Noise
- Your tolerance for noise at home.
- Schedule
- When you're actually living in the flat.
- Social life
- Whether home is for resting or for people.
- Privacy
- How much space of your own you need.
- Sharing
- Food, things and shared costs.
- Communication
- How you raise awkward topics.
- Flexibility
- How much you adjust to how others live.
What you get at the end
Your living profile, with what tends to work for you and what tends to cause trouble. And once we open in your city, households and people ranked by how well you'd live together, with the reason explained: where you align, where friction is likely and what's worth talking through before the viewing.
You can look at the eight living profiles before you start, or read how compatibility is calculated.
Questions about the test
- Is the living compatibility test free?
- Yes. Taking the test and seeing your profile costs nothing and you don't need to give your email.
- Do I need to sign up to take it?
- No. The test starts right here on this page. Seeing other people will need an account once we open in your city; in the meantime you can join the waitlist.
- How long does it take?
- About four minutes. It's 24 situations with three or four answers each, and you don't need to think hard: your first reaction is usually the right one.
- Who sees my answers?
- Nobody. Not a host, not someone you match with, not us as individuals. Only the comparison is shown: where you align and where friction is likely.
- Can I retake the test?
- Yes, whenever you like. Your answers are saved in your browser and you can change them; your profile is recalculated on the spot.
And after the test?
It depends on your situation. Once we open in your city, if you're looking for a room you'll see households you fit with, and if you have a spare room, candidates ranked by fit with the whole household. Join and we'll let you know.
