This arrived in an email and piqued my interest.
I’m a which is pretty accurate.
I think I most fit ladybug. I’ve tried to tell my Bee husband that “outer order = inner calm” for me. He can’t understand that!
Ladybug, but likely with hints of cricket.
I am a ladybug who wishes she were a cricket.
(I responded before doing the quiz, which said I am a cricket. I am not a cricket, so some of my answers must have been more aspirational than accurate!)
I figured that Ladybug best describes me, and the test confirmed it. However, I live with a man who has a fabulously organized garage, but he has to have what I call his “nests” in the house. When we redid our kitchen, I insisted on an area where he could put his stuff - with a roll-down door that allows me to hide it. He has a table on the side of the couch that has his couch-nest. I keep putting it in organizing bins, but he pulls it out and leaves it out. Apparently, it’s important for it to be in plain sight. I won’t complain, though, because if he goes first, I’ll miss the clutter. Perspective is important.
I didn’t realize there was a quiz! Did it, still a ladybug. But some of the questions did not have a response I felt was “me”.
I’m a cricket.
Unfortunately, DH is – definitively not.
Most of the answers didn’t work for me. I’m organized pretty much everywhere in our house, in the open and behind closed doors/drawers.
I’m definitely a cricket but not married to one!
I’m afraid my household organizational style is better characterized by the word cluster____ than by clutterbug.
It says I’m a bee—married to a guy who keeps long & detailed spreadsheets of his “stuff,” which he stores in multiple places around the house.
with a little bit
I’m a ladybug married to a bee
. I think we produced a butterfly.
I am cricket. I live with not-crickets. Hence our never-ending battle over clutter.
I couldn’t finish the quiz - it was giving me a headache! I just put things away.
I am a reformed “ butterfly”. I stopped allowing 99 percent of paper into my home about 15 years ago. No paper gets past my front hall closet where I have a recycling bin, a bin that goes to my office shredder when full, a filing cabinet and a garbage can. Paper is the enemy of uncluttered. Once I stopped paper clutter, organizing the rest of my home and putting things away neatly came easily. I was am a rather indulgent parent. But it was “my house, my rules, “ with respect to putting things away. My husband knew this is a red line for me.
Another cricket here.

I found most of the answers don’t speak to me. I ended up a Cricket.
