Now for the answers
1. If most of your answers were a) then I think although you may not always be the nicest friend you're always honest and real with those around you and can be trusted completely

2.If most of your answers were b) then you are a good friend to people and don't like to see others feeling down, though perhaps a little afraid to tackle issues that could drag. Nonetheless you want to see your friends happy and can be trusted to look after them.

3.If most of your answers were c) then you seem to be a stong minded person, knows exactly what they think. Perhaps not the best to trust as seem to be confident in your opinions, but still a laugh to be around and you mean well for your friends even if it's not always thought through.

4.If most of your answers were d) then oh dear! You appear to have matched the only criteria for not being a friend at, all let alone a good one. It seems you think that problems just de-materialise and can be ignored. You possess no good qualities a friend should have namely: love; support; patience; or trust. Everything you do is to make you feel most comfortable which may be easy for you and make you feel happy and good but makes you a lousy friend who can't ever be relied upon. On the up side, you're not objectionable as a person... Well it's summit!
