What This Reports
Which sign's traditional description best matches the qualities your answers favour in company. It is a fact about your stated preferences and it has no predictive value about actual friendships.
Nobody should use this to evaluate a real friendship, and if the result names a sign different from your closest friend's, the friendship has simply outvoted the quiz.
Friendship In A Chart, Properly
The eleventh house covers friendship, community and chosen groups, and it is a considerably more precise place to look than sun sign compatibility for anyone who wants to take the question seriously.
Element compatibility also applies to friendship and arguably works better there than in romance: fire and air accelerate each other, earth and water steady each other, and cross-pairings describe where two people will have to translate.
Why Difficult Pairings Often Work
The sign combinations described as incompatible frequently produce the most durable friendships, because neither person can assume the other operates as they do. The friction produces attention, and attention is most of what any relationship needs.
Compatibility readings describe translation cost rather than quality. Using one to avoid somebody is a misuse of the whole idea.
