How did you score?

Mostly A's - At ease
You take a loving but relaxed approach to friendship, putting the emphasis on quality, not quantity, of time spent with your pals. Reliable but never too clingy, you value your own privacy and respect that of others. Family and friends admire your independent spirit, cherishing precious moments spent with you all the more because of it. No wonder you're so popular with everyone!

Mostly B's - High intensity
You're serious about friendship, offering absolute loyalty and expecting the same in return. An expert secret-keeper, you rarely divulge details friends share in confidence. You're always there to lend a helping hand or shoulder to cry on. Sometimes you may feel over burdened, but take heart: every last bit of kindness you show will be returned to you tenfold.
