Ever wondered if your friends really know you as well as they claim? You know those moments when someone says they’re your “best friend forever,” but then can’t remember your favorite movie or completely misses what makes you tick? Well, here’s a fun way to put those friendships to the test – create a Buddy Meter quiz!
A Buddy Meter quiz is exactly what it sounds like: a personalized friendship quiz that lets you discover just how well your friends actually know you. Maybe you’ve seen these quizzes floating around social media and thought, “How do I make one of these?” You’re in the right place.
This guide will walk you through everything—from understanding what makes a great Buddy Meter quiz to creating your own using the QSM Plugin. Plus, I’ll share some wickedly fun question ideas that’ll have your friends scratching their heads.
What is the Buddy Meter Quiz?
A Buddy Meter quiz is your ultimate friendship quiz — it’s packed with questions that dig deep into who you are. We’re talking about everything from weird personality quirks and physical features to your favorite binge-worthy movie, pizza toppings, and those oddball habits you do when nobody’s watching (like that crazy dance session you have to calm your nerves).
The beauty of this quiz? There are no real losers. Whether your bestie nails every question or hilariously fails at guessing your biggest fear, you’ll both end up laughing, sharing stories, and probably learning something new about each other.
Why Create a Buddy Meter Quiz?
So you mean there are other benefits of using the buddy meter quiz aside from you getting to know about your best friends or them knowing about you?
Absolutely! While the obvious perk is testing your friendships, creating a Buddy Meter quiz opens up a whole world of opportunities that go way beyond personal entertainment.

How to Create a Friendship Quiz Using WordPress
Before we dive into the fun stuff, you’ll need the Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) plugin installed on your WordPress site. It’s completely free and takes just a few minutes to set up.
Simply head to your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New, search for “Quiz and Survey Master,” install it, and activate.
Easy peasy! Now that you’ve got your WordPress quiz maker ready, let’s create something your friends will be talking about for weeks.
Step 1: Create Questions That’ll Make Your Friends Sweat
Here’s where the magic happens – crafting questions that separate your true besties from the casual acquaintances.
Start by clicking “Add New Quiz” in your QSM Quizzes & Surveys section, select a theme for your quiz – you’ll have to install & activate it, and next, you’ll have to install & activate QSM add-ons (they come as part of a plan, or individual add-ons can be purchased)
For this quiz, I would recommend that you purchase the “AI Integration add-on” to create the quiz instantly using the AI. Plus, you can choose to install other useful add-ons like Ultimate, Advanced Assessment (only if it serves your purpose).
Next, give your quiz a catchy name like “How Well Do You Actually Know [Your Name]?”
Once you’re in the question tab, you can start adding the questions you have created or take some ideas from our list of buddy meter quiz questions.
However, if you’re feeling stuck on question ideas, QSM’s AI Integration add-on can be your creative sidekick. Just tell it what kind of vibe you’re going for – funny, deep, embarrassing – and how many questions you want, plus correct answers, and it’ll suggest questions that fit your personality perfectly. It’s like having a quiz-writing buddy who never runs out of ideas!
Mix up your question types to keep things interesting. Use multiple choice for those “which of these is my biggest pet peeve” moments, and throw in some true/false questions like “I’ve never cried during a Disney movie” (we all know that’s probably false, right?).
You can check out our documentation on the AI Integration add-on to get a clear idea of how to use the add-on for your quiz – Learn to use QSM AI Integration
Step 2: Design Results That Hit Different
Your results page is where the real drama happens. This is when your friends find out if they’re actually paying attention or just nodding along when you talk.
You can create different result pages based on score ranges – maybe “You’re My Ride or Die” for high scorers and “We Need to Hang Out More” for those who clearly haven’t been listening.
In the Result Page tab, you can create conditions and then use QSM’s template variables to personalize each result page.
Show them exactly which questions they nailed and which ones made them look like they just met you yesterday.
The key is making even the “low scorers” feel loved while giving your quiz superstar friends the recognition they deserve.
Step 3: Add a Contact Form (Because Why Not Collect Some Intel?)
If you are creating the buddy meter quiz for your website and to lure your audience, then you may want to know who’s taking your quiz.
Add a simple contact form that captures names and email addresses before showing results. It’s not being nosy – it’s being strategic! Plus, you can send follow-up messages to quiz takers or create a group chat with everyone who participated.
You can create a contact form in QSM for free by navigating to the Contact tab; however, if you want to turn the basic contact form into a lead collecting form by making it email required before showing the result. Then you’ll have to install the Ultimate add-on and turn the basic contact form into a lead generation form.
Simply, go to the Contact tab > Options, in the contact form position setting, choose “Use Shortcode (interim)” and copy the shortcode.
Next, go to the result page and create a result mentioning something like – Fill up this contact form to view your result, and paste the shortcode. Then, click on the settings icon and turn on the “Use as Interim Result Page.”
Step 4: Launch and Watch the Quiz Unfold
Hit publish and start sharing! Post it on social media, send it in group chats, or casually drop the link during conversations. Then sit back and watch as your friends either prove they’re friendship MVPs or realize they’ve been terrible listeners this whole time.
Pro tip: Don’t take the results too seriously. The real win is the conversations, inside jokes, and bonding moments that come from sharing something this personal and fun with the people you care about.
Final Thoughts
This type of activity is a game-changer for acquaintances who are still figuring each other out – suddenly those awkward “getting to know you” conversations become laughs and genuine connections.
But here’s the beautiful part: even lifelong best friends and siblings discover new things about each other that they never knew after years of friendship.
