Now check how many of your answers are the same. Score 1 point for each identical answer and check your score below.

0-5: You and your friend are probably from different planets! You've got nothing in common. How come you're friends at all? ;) Never mind, some people believe that opposites attract!

6-10: Your friendship is like anybody else's: you've got some things in common, but you're different in many aspects. Nothing wrong with that: respect the differences between you and you'll always be good friends.

11-15: You're so alike! Are you sure you're not twins separated at birth? On the other hand, check the answers again: are they your true answers or are you trying to copy your friend? In any case, keep in mind that friendship is not about having exactly the same taste or do exactly the same things as your friends. It's all right to disagree with friends sometimes!
