1. How do you feel about darkness? Sweden has about 6 hours of daylight in December and 18+ in June.
I love dramatic seasons
I can handle it with candles and routines
I prefer more even daylight
I need consistent daylight year-round
2. Rate your coffee / fika enthusiasm. Fika is a real daily social ritual, not just a caffeine stop.
Protect fika at all costs
I enjoy a proper coffee break
Coffee is fine, the ritual is extra
I'd rather skip it and keep working
3. How do you feel about high taxes in exchange for strong public services (healthcare, parental leave, schools)?
That's the deal I want
I'm okay if take-home still works
I'd need to run the numbers first
High taxes are a hard no
4. Are you comfortable with quiet, reserved small talk, or do you prefer very outgoing social norms?
Quiet is a feature, not a bug
I can adapt either way
I prefer warmer, chatty cultures
I need very outgoing everyday contact
5. How important is nature and outdoor access? Sweden's allemansrätten (right to roam) lets you walk, forage and camp with care almost everywhere.
Essential — I want forest on tap
Important for weekends
Nice to have parks nearby
Not a priority
6. Team sports and nightlife city buzz, or hiking and lake-cabin weekends?
City buzz, please
A mix — concerts and a cabin
Hiking / lake cabin most weekends
I'd rather be somewhere louder year-round
7. How do you feel about DIY / self-sufficiency (IKEA-flatpack life, booking your own healthcare, figuring out BankID) vs full-service convenience?
I like figuring systems out
I'll learn if the payoff is real
I want more concierge, less paperwork
I expect full-service convenience
8. Winter sports enthusiasm level?
Skis on, lights off, I'm happy
I'll try skating or a cabin weekend
I'll survive winter indoors
Winter sports are a hard pass
9. How do you feel about lagom — enough, not too much — in work hours, home size, and showing off?
That's my operating system
I can downshift
I still like a bit of flash
I want bigger, louder, faster
