ICD® developed the Clutter–Hoarding Scale (C–HS®) as an observational guideline tool for assessing only the residential environment. It is designed to support assessing safety, sanitation, and usability in residential settings. This tool is not meant for clinical diagnosis or to evaluate an individual’s behavior or tendencies.

The Clutter Quality of Life Scale (CQLS) has been designed by the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD) to help people assess for themselves, and to help organizing professionals help their clients assess, the personally felt impact that clutter has on their well-being. Measures personally felt negative consequences of clutter across important life domains associated with quality of life (QoL).

ICD® has developed free Fact Sheets to provide information about chronic disorganization. These Fact Sheets may be used for educational purposes. Please note that these are copyrighted materials. If you wish to use any of the information in an ICD Fact Sheet in a presentation, please be sure to credit it appropriately. If planning to use it in a publication, please contact ICD for appropriate permissions.
