You and your core crew of best friends might have a lot in common (which bonds you into besties) but your personalities might be very different. Though you and your BFFs might be able to finish each other’s sentences, have the same drive thru order, and watch all of the same shows, you definitely don’t have to be a lot like each other, to like each other a lot. While it might be obvious who’s who in the group — the mother hen, the group therapist, the party starter — there are tons of more nuanced fun personality quizzes to take with friends that will make for a very illuminating night in with the crew. You can confirm or own up to the fact that you really are the neurotic mom of the group.
