Not a pair, but a group
Every situation here involves several people at once: a handful of friends choosing where to eat, a date posted in the group chat that only some have answered, shared slides that need fixing before a presentation. Deciding something between two friends is one thing. With a group, there is also the question of who speaks up first and how long to wait for everyone else.
Each situation also spells out what matters for the decision, such as a deadline, how much time is left, or which ways of getting in touch are available. The settings range from plans with friends to work projects and a home shared with a roommate. Where you are, and with whom, can change what feels like the natural first move.
Adding what others expect of you
If you choose the longer version, you answer each situation twice. First you pick what you would do. Then you pick what you think the other people there expect you to do. The result shows the two side by side and notes whether they match.
That second answer is never scored. What other people actually expect is something you cannot know without asking them, so a gap between your choice and your guess does not mean you chose wrong. If anything, it may be worth raising with the group the next time something like it comes up.
What the result shows
For each situation, the result lists your choice, the options you did not pick, and a question you could ask the others. If you also answered for what others expect, your guess about their expectations takes the place of the other options.
No choice is ranked as more proactive or more considerate, and your answers are not grouped into a profile of any kind. A situation you skipped is shown as skipped rather than filled in with a made-up answer. How it works sets out the principles behind every result on this site.
