    This document contains a 10-question questionnaire to assess hoarding behaviors from the perspectives of both the individual and a trusted other. The first 5 questions are for the individual to rate their difficulties using rooms due to clutter, discarding items, problems with collecting or buying things, emotional distress, and life impairment. The next 5 identical questions are for a friend or family member to rate the individual on the same scales based on their observations of the individual's home and behaviors. Completing both sets of questions allows for a comparison of self and other perceptions.

    ✒ Comparing Your Perceptions With Those of Others

    This questionnaire has 10 questions. The first 5 are for the person who has
    (or might have) a hoarding problem. The second 5 are for someone else
    to answer about the person who has (or might have) a hoarding problem.
    To complete this measure, then, you’ll need to find a trusted person—a
    friend or family member, perhaps even a therapist or other social service
