Members Quiz – What Type of Friend Are You?

You bring the vibes, but which ones exactly? Answer these five fun questions and discover what type of friend you really are…

—

1. Your friend just dropped a deep, dark secret. Like, novel-worthy. What do you do?

A. Nod seriously, listen like you’re taking mental notes for their memoir, and say, ‘Tell me everything.’

B. Give them a reassuring pat and say it’s alright, because it all reminds you of something from an emotional 80s film.

C. Raise an eyebrow and ask, ‘So, what are you going to do about it?’ You don’t sugar-coat.

D. Promise to take it to your grave, while mentally resolving to hold a grudge against the person responsible for your friend’s pain for the rest of your life.

E. Blurt it out to your group chat before they even finish the sentence. Oops.

F. No words. You’re already throwing on a hoodie, grabbing your keys: ‘Where are we going?’

2. It’s 2 a.m. and your friend texts: ‘Are you awake?’ How do you respond?

A. Already typing ‘yes’ with a cup of tea in hand and your emotional-support playlist fired up.

B. With a gentle ‘Of course’, prepared to set the world to rights for as long as it takes.

C. ‘This better not be about your ex again.’

D. With a comforting ‘Always’, ready to record a six-part voice note dissecting their concerns.

E. You saw it . . . and turned your phone face-down. You’ll reply in the morning. Maybe.

F. You FaceTime immediately and start planning a spontaneous late-night road trip.

3. Your friend is spiralling over a bad date. What do you say?

A. ‘Honestly? You’re amazing and they clearly don’t deserve you.’

B. ‘Right. Tell me every detail. Every awkward pause. I need the full breakdown.’

C. ‘Babe, all the warning signs were there. Don’t act surprised.’

D. ‘This is just a plot twist, not the end. There’s more fish in the sea, or so they say.’

E. ‘Wait, is that the hot guy from Daisy’s party? Is he single?’

F. ‘Say less. I’m on my way with snacks.’

4. Your friend is in trouble. Like, serious trouble. What’s your move?

A. Turn into their personal therapist and probably bake something comforting.

B. Sit quietly while they unload, even if they’re clearly lying to themselves.

C. Hit them with the truth and help them sort it. You’re not here for nonsense.

D. Stand by them even when everyone else backs away. You’re made of sterner stuff.

E. Vanish for a bit, then pop back in with a ‘soz, been flat out lately x’

F. No questions asked. You’re in and ready to provide an alibi.

5. Your friend gets their dream job in a new city. How do you react?

A. Get emotional but help them pack like the angel you are.

B. Make a playlist called New Beginnings and plan your first visit.

C. ‘Don’t forget the little people, yeah?’

D. Start writing them epic emails with proper punctuation and heartfelt updates.

E. Don’t say goodbye. Just slowly stop liking their posts.

F. Immediately start looking for jobs there too. They won’t get rid of you that easily.

Members Quiz – What Type of Friend Are You?

Mostly A’s – You’re a Reassurer

Kind, steady, and always ready with the perfect response, you are the heart of your friendship group. Think the warm nostalgia and emotional depth of Mayflies by Andrew O’Hagan – you bring comfort and calm in the chaos.

Mostly B’s – You’re a Listener

You’re the friend everyone opens up to. You hold space like it’s an art form. You’re giving Friend of My Youth by Amit Chaudhuri – thoughtful, introspective, and a little bit poetic.

Mostly C’s – You’re a No-Bull Friend

You’re real, you’re honest, and sometimes you scare people (in a good way). You’ve got Conversations with Friends energy – sharp, dry, and sneakily sentimental.

Mostly D’s – You’re a Loyal Friend

You might not shout the loudest, but you’re the one they write thank-you speeches for. Your friendships last lifetimes. Your vibes? A little bit Among Others by Michael Frayn – meaning, memory, and depth.

Mostly E’s – You’re a Really Bad Friend

Okay . . . no judgement (but maybe a little). You’ve got Penance by Eliza Clark energy – chaotic, unreliable, and honestly, kind of terrifying. You might want to reflect on your inner circle etiquette.

Mostly F’s – You’re a Ride or Die

You’d burn it all down for your mates and they love you for it. You’re intense, loyal, and a little bit wild. Basically, Bad Friend by Tiffany Watt Smith in human form. Iconic and definitely not someone to mess with.
