HomeMates: Roommate Compatibility Quiz

Finding the perfect roommate shouldn't be a guessing game. Our HomeMates template is a comprehensive roommate compatibility quiz designed to help you evaluate potential living partners through structured assessment and visual analytics. This interactive spreadsheet transforms the often stressful process of roommate selection into an organized, data-driven decision.

How to use this roommate compatibility questionnaire

This roommate compatibility test features five essential categories: Sharing/Expenses, Cleanliness/Upkeep, Lifestyle, Noise Levels, and Socializing preferences. Each section contains targeted questions for roommate compatibility that both you and potential roommates complete independently.

Step-by-step process:

1. Input responses to lifestyle questions in designated sections
2. Compare answers side-by-side to identify alignment or conflicts
3. View automated scoring through dynamic charts and compatibility percentages
4. Analyze results using the visual dashboard showing category-specific compatibility scores

The template automatically calculates compatibility percentages and generates interactive charts, providing clear visual insights into relationship potential. Best practice: have both parties complete the roommate compatibility survey honestly for accurate results.

Perfect for modern living arrangements

This template serves college students seeking dorm partners, young professionals sharing apartments, and anyone transitioning to shared living spaces. Real-world applications include:

• University housing coordinators streamlining roommate matching processes
• Property management companies offering value-added tenant services
• Co-living spaces optimizing resident compatibility
• Individual renters making informed decisions about potential roommates

The structured approach helps prevent common conflicts around cleanliness standards, expense sharing, noise tolerance, and lifestyle preferences that often strain roommate relationships.
