Friendship style test
Where do you stand among your friends?
1 / 120%
Nobody holds one place only. Where you stand shifts with the group and the season.
Every circle of friends has parts, and people take them
For a group to work, someone has to suggest going somewhere, someone has to make people laugh, someone books the table, someone notices who has gone quiet, and someone names the real problem. This test looks at which part you take most often — and shows all five proportions rather than cutting you down to one.

This typology is a way to look at your own tendencies, not a scientific diagnosis. Use it as something to talk about, not a label for a person.
