You are definitely a neatness freak. Keeping up your ultra tidy habit seems like a lot of hard work and not a lot of fun. But you seem to think all the exhausting work is worth it as long as at the end of the day your room looks like it’s clean enough to eat off the floor. Loosen up a little. A little dust and dirt is OK. Don’t make neatness an obsession.

Between 21 and 30
You obviously don’t let a little dirt drive you mad. Although you like things neat and tidy, you do realize that there is more to life than well-pressed clothes. Although you make an effort to keep things clean, you wouldn’t sacrifice a Saturday night out to tidy your room.

Between 31 and 40
Scored mostly threes? Your mum probably complaints about your room but no one can actually call you dirty. You know how to hide your mess well and will occasionally tidy things up when things get out of hand. You’ve got too many things to do, too many parties to enjoy, to worry about dirty clothes.

Between 41 and 49
Boy... are you a slob. But you are an honest one. And to be this honest you must have a sense of humor and are fun to be with. Although your friends may find you a bit scruffy, they love you for your no-fuss nature. Now you know why your friends never borrow your clothes and politely decline to have a sleep over in your room.
