About this test

Compatibility is more than chemistry — it's the one thing you actually need to keep wanting them. 24 honest items, one verdict.

Methodology

24 items, 4 per need, 5-point Likert. Dominant-need scoring across six friendship-compatibility archetypes.

Possible archetypes

Depth · No-small-talk mode
You can't do shallow. Three deep friends > thirty acquaintances.
About: Depth

You don't do small talk for long. The good part is rare, durable, real friendships. The hard part is a small group, a slow buildup, and you don't fit into casual social ecosystems.

Fun · Needs lightness
You want friends who make you laugh, not therapy session #47.
About: Fun

You don't want heavy. The good part is friendships that feel restorative, not draining. The hard part is friends going through hard times can feel like you're not there for the heavy parts.

Availability · Pick-up-the-phone
'Schedule me next month' is a slow no. You want friends who pick up.
About: Availability

You need them in the room. The good part is a thick local life. The hard part is distant friends fade no matter how good, and you won't maintain remote ones long-term.

Loyalty · One strike, gone
Talk behind your back once and you're erased. No comeback tour.
About: Loyalty

You can't sustain friendship without it. The good part is real, fierce protection of friends who pass the test. The hard part is a small inner circle and zero tolerance for the gossip most groups run on.

Stimulation · Bored = unfollow
Comfortable friends bore you. You need people who level you up — or you ghost.
About: Stimulation

Boredom kills it for you. The good part is friendships that compound your growth. The hard part is friends who plateau lose you, and "comfortable" friends start to feel like a waste.

Honesty · No fake agreement
You don't want empty comfort. Friends who only agree are not enough.
About: Honesty

You can't friend someone who soft-pedals. The good part is a tight circle of people who actually keep you honest. The hard part is people who confuse honesty with attack don't make it past round one.

FAQ + disclaimer
Should both friends take it?

Yes — mismatched needs are most of why "good" friendships still feel off.

Can I have more than one?

Most do. Result names dominant; secondary often shows up.
