Friendship compatibility test

See where you and a friend think alike, where you differ, and what those patterns could mean in everyday life.

You’ll each need a Trove account and a saved Big Five result.

Would you do
the same?

More than a matching personality type

You can make the same choice for different reasons. You can also disagree on the plan while caring about the same thing. Trove compares your saved questionnaire results and broad interpretations of your scenario responses to explore both.

Your shared report includes an overall similarity percentage when you both enable scores, individual questionnaire comparisons, and a separate comparison for each shared scenario. Deeper sections explore patterns such as making plans, showing up and handling tension when your answers support them.

Fictional example · Maya & Jules

Same care. Different plans.

77%Overall similarity

Maya makes room for people by thinking ahead. Jules makes room by staying open. Both care about being there, but Maya wants care to survive contact with a calendar, while Jules wants it to survive a change of plan.

The cancelled dinner

A friend cancels 45 minutes before dinner. It’s the third time, and you’ve already cooked.

Your choices: Maya would say she was disappointed and ask the friend to organize the next dinner. Jules would send a warm reply, enjoy the spare evening, and leave the next invitation to the friend.
Different: Maya wants the effect on her acknowledged. Jules would change the effort they put in before turning it into a conversation.
Similar: Both would keep the friendship open, but expect the friend to take responsibility for making the next plan.

How to compare with a friend

Start with your own answers
Sign in to Trove and save your Big Five result. Your friend does the same in their own account.
Connect with a personal code
Open Compare, share your code or enter your friend’s, and check their first name. A code identifies an account; it does not give access to private information.
Choose to share, together
You both need to agree to Compare sharing and allow AI processing for a new reading. Choose whether to include similarity scores, then explore your shared report.

Open Compare

Before you compare

What does friendship compatibility mean here?

Trove helps you explore similarities and differences in your answers: how you approach plans, decisions and everyday situations. The overall percentage measures similarity. A lower score does not mean a worse friendship, and a higher one does not guarantee that you’ll get along.

Do we have to complete every questionnaire?

No. Both of you need a saved Big Five to enter Compare. Other saved questionnaires and shared scenarios can deepen the report. You can explore each available questionnaire comparison, including where only one person has a result, without guessing the other person’s answers.

What will my friend see?

Compare shares completed result labels and scores, and broad summaries of hypothetical scenario responses, within your agreed sharing scope. Eligible current and future completions can enter the comparison while sharing stays on. Your private portrait, original replies, raw scenario conversations and raw birth details stay private. Both of you must include similarity scores for percentages to appear.

Who can access the report, and can I stop sharing?

The shared report is for the two people in the comparison. It does not create a public comparison link. You can stop sharing or end the comparison from its connection options; either person can end access for both. Each person keeps their own saved data.

Can I compare using only my friend’s personality type?

Your friend needs their own account and must agree to share. Trove uses each person’s saved results and permitted inputs, rather than guessing a friend’s personality from your description of them.
