How this quiz works

Every answer leans toward one of six friend types: The Planner, The Listener, The Hype Friend, The Funny One, The Mom Friend and The Wild Card. The one you lean into most is your result. If two are tied, your later answers break the tie.

Every group needs a mix

The best friend groups usually have a few different types. Someone plans, someone listens, someone makes everyone laugh. If your whole group got the same result, that’s fun too, but it might explain why no one ever books the table.

Most people are a mix, and your role can change depending on who you’re with. You might be the planner with one group and the funny one with another.

Every result, explained

The Planner

Without you, the group chat would still be saying "we should hang out sometime." You turn ideas into actual plans.

You're the reason things happen. You remember dates, make the poll, find the place and send the reminder. Your friends count on you more than they say. The one thing to watch: you can end up doing all the work. It's okay to ask someone else to plan the next hangout and just show up for once.

Superpower: Making plans real
Group chat move: The poll
Watch out for: Doing it all yourself

The Listener

People tell you things they've never told anyone. You listen without judging, and everyone feels a little lighter after talking to you.

You're the friend people come to at 2 a.m. You notice when someone goes quiet, you ask the follow-up question and you keep secrets. That's rare. Just remember you need someone to listen to you too. Make sure at least one friend knows how you're really doing.

Superpower: Making people feel heard
Group chat move: Private check-in DMs
Watch out for: Carrying everyone's problems

The Hype Friend

Every friend needs someone who screams "YOU LOOK AMAZING" and means it. That's you.

You're everyone's biggest fan. You cheer at their games, repost their art and hype their outfits before they even ask. Your energy makes people braver. Your challenge: being honest when a friend needs it, not just positive. Real hype includes "maybe don't text him back" sometimes.

Superpower: Making people feel confident
Group chat move: All-caps compliments
Watch out for: Skipping hard truths

The Funny One

Inside jokes, perfect memes and the laugh that sets everyone off. The group is louder (and happier) because of you.

You can turn a boring day into a story everyone retells for months. Humor is a real gift: it brings people together and gets them through hard stuff. Just check now and then that you're not hiding your own feelings behind a joke. Your friends would want to know when you're not okay.

Superpower: Making any moment fun
Group chat move: The meme that kills it
Watch out for: Joking instead of opening up

The Mom Friend

Snacks, chargers, band-aids and "text me when you get home." You look out for everyone.

You're the one who notices someone is cold, hungry or left out, and fixes it before anyone asks. People feel safe around you. The trap is putting everyone else first all the time. Let your friends take care of you sometimes, and say no when you're tired.

Superpower: Making sure nobody's left out
Group chat move: "Did everyone get home?"
Watch out for: Forgetting yourself

The Wild Card

You're the reason the group has its best stories. Your ideas are spontaneous, a little chaotic and always memorable.

Midnight walks, last-minute trips, a new place nobody has tried: that's you. You push your friends out of their comfort zones in the best way. Just make sure everyone's actually on board, and that your ideas stay safe. The best adventures are the ones everyone gets home from.
