What this quiz measures
At home, most of the work is done in a way that doesn't show — until nobody does it. This quiz measures three things: how much of that work a child can name, how much they do before anybody asks, and how much they do regularly. The questions cover the same areas of the household as the test for grown-ups, only in language an eight-year-old understands. The result does not grade the child: whether the split feels fair to them is deliberately left out of it.
The four results and what they mean
The quiz places the household, seen through the child's eyes, in one of four states. It isn't a grade — it says how much of the household is visible, not what the child is like.
Fog
Most of what happens at home is still invisible to you. That isn't your fault — work at home is usually done so that it doesn't show. Only the person doing it notices. That's exactly why this test exists.
Window
You see part of what happens at home, and you already take part in some of it. But there are areas where you don't yet know who holds them. Below is one to start with.
Map
You have a good picture of your home — you can name who does what, and you do more of it yourself. That's more than usual.
Crew
You're not just living there — you're part of the crew. You know what needs doing and you do a lot of it without being reminded.
What age is the quiz for?
From 8 to roughly 14. Younger children manage it with a grown-up beside them. Age is asked at the start and only serves as context in the parent's view — it doesn't affect the result.
Are the child's answers stored?
No. We don't ask for a name or an e-mail, and the answers are never sent anywhere — they stay in the browser until the page is closed. The result reaches a parent only through the link the child sends themselves. Unlike the grown-ups' test, there is no anonymous traffic measurement here either.
Does the quiz grade the child?
No. It measures how much of the household is visible to the child — and that is a property of the household, not of the child. „I don't know“ is therefore a finding, not a mistake: it's exactly the work nobody at home sees.
What does a parent get out of it?
A third view of the same household. A parent sees which areas the child didn't register at all, which they read as one grown-up's business, and which they already take part in. The grown-ups' test cannot show that.
How long does it take?
About five minutes. Fourteen questions, one screen each, and you can go back.
How does it relate to the test for grown-ups?
It asks about the same areas of the household in a different language. The grown-ups' test shows how work is split between two adults; the children's one shows how much of it is visible from outside. Together they give a picture neither gives alone.
