Scoring Interpretations:
If you get a score between 0 and 22, you still have a lot to learn about true friendship! You typically have immature and superficial friendships; therefore it’s likely that you don’t have many close pals. You have to understand that friendship calls for plenty of compromise and reciprocity as well as tolerance, sensitivity, and understanding. If your score is between 23 and 45, you have a good quantity of close friendships, a good understanding of what friendship is all about, and you have a fair amount of understanding.
Even though you might be petty and selfish at times, overall you are a steady and reliable friend. If your rating is between 46 and 69, you have the perfect friend! Your buddies are numerous, strong, and will support you no matter what. Your friends respect you for your empathy, determination, and your loyalty to them.
Tips & Tricks to read:
Always avoid smothering. An excellent buddy knows when to provide space. Lose the battle but keep your friend. Even close friends can disagree on something. Expressing how you feel is better than keeping your fury inside.
Recognize your friend’s faults. Even if you are far away, stay in touch. Call, write, or email, and keep birthdays in mind. Real friends shouldn’t be separated by distance. Be devoted and loyal also avoid trying to be manipulative in friendship. Never tell another person or friend your close friend’s personal information. You don’t have to tell your pal every single aspect of your life. Learn the art of forgiving, even close friends occasionally disappoint one another but simply be a friend.
