Really probe each other’s memories from the early stages of your friendship. Did you have any hilarious inside jokes or secret handshakes? Did you pass notes in class or have a special meeting spot at recess? Jogging childhood memories reveals how far back your history goes.
Round 2: Personality Profile
As we grow and change, even best friends can sometimes be surprised by each other’s quirks. See if you can pin down your BFF’s unique personality traits:

Really get introspective with these personality questions. Knowing someone’s core values, motivations and outlook offers rare insight into who they truly are inside.
Round 3: Tastes and Preferences
Even besties don’t agree on everything. How well do you know each other’s likes and dislikes? Time to find out:
