How well do you know me questions for couples
36 questions, grouped by how much they'll cost you.
Same format, different stakes. Answer these about each other separately and then compare — the gaps are more informative than the matches. Two things make this worth doing properly. First, write the answers down before you compare; saying "yeah, that's roughly what I would have said" after hearing the answer is not the same as knowing. Second, when you find a gap, resist explaining it away in the moment. A question you got wrong about someone you live with is not a failure, it's the most useful thing on the page.

Or let it score itself
Reading questions out loud only works if you're both being honest about the answers. The bestie quiz asks 16 of them about your actual behaviour, gives you each a four-letter role, and then tells you what the two roles make together.
