- A separate score for each of the five areas, so you can see where the friendship is strong and where it is thin, not just one number
- Your strongest and your weakest area, each with a one-line reading of what that usually looks like in a friendship
- One practical next step matched to your result, small enough to try this week
You picture one friend and rate 20 statements from Not at all true to Completely true. The statements cover five areas: shared values, communication, mutual effort, emotional safety and complementary strengths. Your answers give an overall score and a score for each area, with a short reading of your strongest and weakest one and a practical next step.
It tells you how you see the fit, from your side only. Compatibility involves two people, and your friend may rate things differently. If you want the other half, ask your friend to answer the same statements about you and compare. Treat any differences as conversation starters rather than verdicts on the friendship.
No. It is an original JobCannon reflection tool, inspired by research ideas such as reciprocity and gradual self-disclosure between friends. We have not run a validation study, so it is not a diagnostic and it cannot predict whether a friendship will last. Use it to notice patterns and to start honest conversations.
A low score describes how the friendship feels to you now, not its worth or its future. Busy periods, moves, new jobs and life changes can all lower these scores for a while. Look at which area scored lowest and ask whether it is something you can talk about with your friend or something you are content to accept.
