1 - 16 POINTS:
You are a FOLLOW-THE LEADER FRIEND. You're a follower rather than a leader in friendships. You mostly just go along with what your friends want to do, letting them make the decisions. You may think this is just fine for your friends, but your weak-willed nature means that sometimes you don't perform your friendly duties, like helping them to see a situation or a person for what they really are (instead of what they wish it would be). Your go-along attitude also means that you're not getting what you want out of your friendships a lot of the time, because you're afraid to tell friends when what they're doing bothers you, or is even hurtful to you. You need a boost to your self-confidence, girl! Spend some time working on your self-esteem. You'll end up being a better friend, and you'll be a happier person.
17 - 24 POINTS:
You are an ALL-AROUND GREAT FRIEND You are a terrific friend. You know how to support your friends when they need it and how to help them look on the positive side when things aren't going so well. You are thoughtful and you keep your friends' best interests at heart. You know how to break bad news to a friend without breaking her confidence. You also know how to have fun, and friends appreciate your happy outlook on life. You are confident enough in yourself and in your friendships to stand up for yourself when you have a difference of opinion. You have a caring nature and you treat your friends like you would like to be treated yourself - with respect.
25 POINTS OR MORE:
WITH FRIENDS LIKE YOU, WHO NEEDS ENEMIES? You are one mean girl. The way you treat your friends, it's surprising that you have any. You are always the first to point out a friend's weaknesses and failures. You are competitive with other girls and you feel justified in manipulating or tricking your friends in order to get what you want. Your attitude to life is negative in general and you complain a lot. You look down on other people because you think you're better than them. You are super-conceited, but it's hiding an inferiority complex - deep down, you're hiding something. You need to get your act together and learn how to treat other people better, or you're going to wind up very lonely with no one to hang out with. |

0 - 15 POINTS:
NOT AT ALL JEALOUS. You are so super-confident that you couldn't imagine anyone being unfaithful to you. Jealously is a concept that doesn't usually enter your mind. You are so sure, in fact, that you might actually miss little signs that go right under your nose! It's good to be sure of yourself, but keep your eyes open... not all people are as positive and sure of the rules as you are.
16 - 27 POINTS:
A LITTLE JEALOUS. You are totally normal. That is, you are pretty self-assured when it comes to you and any boys you date, but you aren't immune to the green-eyed monster. Sometimes you have doubts and you wonder if there's stuff going on that you don't know about. Don't worry, you have good radar. You're smart enough to know that it's good to have a healthy trust, at least until someone shows you they can't be trusted.
28 OR MORE POINTS:
SUPER JEALOUS. Whoa there! You are so jealous by nature that you probably see betrayals even when your boyfriend has been perfectly innocent. You might be damaging your relationships with your unreasonable jealousy, which could express itself in clinginess or anger. You need to boost your confidence and realize you're worth loving. If you've had bad experiences, realize they don't mean all boys are bad.
