About This Quiz

Everyone needs a good friend. It's a necessity when trying to navigate the world today. Because you know how valued great friends are, you probably need to evaluate how good of a friend you are. If you've never asked yourself that question, things aren't looking too great, but you can find out for sure with this quiz. Are you ready to find out if you're the best friend ever, or if you're taking way more than you give? Let's find out!

Are you the best friend ever? Do you always make sure your friends are good, you always make yourself available when they need you and you can laugh and cry with them? Are you a good friend? Do you stay in communication with them, make it a point to hang out and you share what's going on in your life with them? Are you a flaky friend? Does something always come up to the point where seeing you is as rare as seeing a unicorn? Or are you a frenemy? Are you secretly jealous of your "friend" and laugh when they fail or stumble? 

The truth can hurt, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't still find out your friendship skills. Ready? Let's get started!
