What Kind of Friend Are You?

This test helps you figure out what role you naturally play in friendships. Through 12 real-life friendship scenarios — from group hangouts to advice sessions to conflicts — you'll get a diagnosis of your true friend type. Based on attachment theory and social role theory, find out which of the 6 friend types matches your style. The patterns you unconsciously show around friends reveal who you really are.

You'll land on one of six types: the Loyal Bodyguard, the Fun Mood Maker, the Quiet Listener, the Reliable Mentor, the Free Spirit, or the Warm Healer. Each type comes with a core personality summary, strengths and hidden weaknesses, a piece of advice, and your best friendship match. For example, the Bodyguard is fiercely loyal but can be overprotective, while the Mood Maker keeps things fun but tends to avoid deep conversations. Discover the real you within your friendships!

Anyone wondering what kind of presence they are in their friend group! It's perfect for people who want to understand their friendships better, those who want to compare types with friends, or anyone looking for tips on making new friends. Taking it together with friends makes for non-stop laughs and often becomes a chance to express appreciation you never got to say. It's especially popular among people in their teens to thirties, and widely used as an icebreaker at school clubs and social gatherings.

This test draws on John Bowlby's Attachment Theory and Social Role Theory from social psychology. Attachment theory tells us that each person has a unique pattern of relating to others, while social role theory explains that we naturally take on certain roles within a group. Using these two frameworks, we identified six core roles that show up in friendships.

The test has 12 questions and takes about 3–5 minutes. Each question presents a real friendship scenario with four choices. It starts with warm-up questions and gradually moves into deeper friendship situations — just go with your gut for the most accurate result. From group hangouts to conflict resolution to sharing secrets, these are situations you can totally relate to, making it a fun and easy experience.

Absolutely! The Friend Type Test is way more fun with friends around. Share your result via KakaoTalk, X (Twitter), or a link, and compare types together — expect plenty of "I knew you were the mood maker!" moments. Checking your compatibility results can help you understand each other's friendship on a deeper level. The Bodyguard + Healer combo and the Mentor + Listener combo are known to have especially high satisfaction rates, so definitely check your match!
