The Seven Friend Types
Every good friend group has a cast of characters. This quiz finds which role you play.
| Friend type | Superpower | Friends rely on you for |
|---|---|---|
| The Rock | Loyalty | Showing up, always |
| The Hype Friend | Enthusiasm | Confidence boosts |
| The Honest One | Truth | Straight answers |
| The Comedian | Humour | Laughter on bad days |
| The Planner | Organisation | Making things happen |
| The Group Parent | Care | Snacks, plasters and check-ins |
| The Wise One | Perspective | Thoughtful advice |
How The Quiz Works
Ten questions cover how you act in a crisis, in the group chat, on holiday and on birthdays. Each answer adds points to one or two types, and the bars show your mix. Most people play different roles with different friends.
What Research Says About Friendship
- Friendship protects health. A large 2010 analysis by Julianne Holt-Lunstad found strong social relationships linked with a 50% higher likelihood of survival over the study periods.
- Close friends take time. Research by Jeffrey Hall estimated it takes around 200 hours together to become close friends.
- Responsiveness matters. Friends who feel understood and supported report stronger friendships, whatever their “type”.
