Roger:

Here is how I would rate myself on my housekeeping habits:

  1. Vacuuming Rugs-main traffic area?

    - Only when guests are coming (8)

  2. Vacuuming Rugs- obscure areas?

    - Never (or under protest) (9)

  3. Washing dishes (assuming no dishwasher and 3 days supply of dishes)?

    - Bidaily (3)

  4. Cleaning Toilets & Sinks?

    - Only when guests are coming (8)

  5. Washing clothes, assuming a two week supply?

    - Biweekly (5)

  6. Changing bedsheets?

    - Monthly (6)

  7. Washing Woodwork?

    - Never (or under protest) (9)

  8. Washing Windows?

    - Never (or under protest) (9)

  9. Washing the Car?

    - Yearly (7)

  10. Washing Towels and faceclothes?

    - Monthly (6)

  11. Washing Kitchen Floor?

    - Never (or under protest) (9)

  12. Sweeping the Kitchen Floor?

    - Only when guests are coming (8)

So, if these questions are weighted equally, my overall mean score would be 7.25, and since your original ten scale was set up with 1 as the slob and 10 as the neat-freak, I suppose we should subtract the mean score from 10.5 to obtain an overall neatness rating. I guess that makes me a 3.

Sounds about right.
