Small moments between friends

Read about each situation
From dinner plans to a change of time
The quiz walks through moments that can come up between any two friends and asks, each time, what you would do first: when dinner is left to you with “anything’s fine,” when a message shows as read but gets no reply, when a friend says they are worn out, and when someone asks to meet earlier than planned.
Each situation spells out the details that could otherwise tip the answer, such as whether time or money is short and whether anything is urgent. Why each setup is the way it is, how the options differ, and which result card each answer brings up are all covered in the essay linked from that situation.
Alone, or passing one phone back and forth
On your own, you pick only your own first move in each situation. Your result is a set of cards written in advance, one for each answer you give. Each card carries a short name for what you chose, a line describing it, something worth thinking about next, and a question you could put to a friend. The same answers always bring back the same cards, whoever takes the quiz and whenever they take it.
With a friend, you share a single phone and take turns. Besides your own first move, each of you says what you would want the other person to do and what you think they would want from you. If you like, you can add a round of guessing each other’s picks.
Nothing is shown until both of you agree to see your answers side by side. If either of you declines, the quiz simply ends without showing anything.
What the matching count is for
The shared result also counts how often your answers lined up. That count is not a measure of how well you get along. It is there to point out where a guess and a real answer came apart.
When you find one of those places, the question attached to that result gives you a way to talk it through. Both sets of answers live only on that screen; they are not saved or sent to a server, and closing the page clears them. How it works goes into more detail on how results are put together.
